Mission:

"Promote the development of quality, affordable housing by Georgia's not-for-profit housing developers"

Primary Goal:

G-STAND represents, as one voice, the interests of experienced not-for-profit developers to address public policy, increase resources, and impact practices that affect their ability to provide housing for Georgia’s low- and moderate-income households.

What is G-STAND’s purpose?

Significantly increase public awareness of the substantive role played by not-for-profit developers in addressing the housing needs of low- and moderate-income citizens so as to attract greater resources, obtain a more supportive regulatory environment, and identify government and private sector partners that are also committed to greater quality housing production.

Examples:

• Make comments and attend hearings regarding public resources available to produce affordable housing.
• Comment on proposed regulations and/or administrative practices that impact the affordable housing industry.
• Produce a summary of legislative bills that are proposed or have passed through committees to inform Association members of the potential impact on their operations.
• Advocate for increased resources for affordable housing development in Georgia.
• Collaborate with other statewide organizations with similar interests.

What else will G-STAND do?

Develop materials explaining the impact nonprofit developers have on improving their communities, and provide editorial material for the media to bring more attention to what G-STAND members are doing to produce housing and the impact that public policy has on their work.

Organize briefings and conduct tours of housing development projects for policy makers, key legislative staff, media, or philanthropists to better prepare them to aid in the promotion of affordable housing.
