the HACC is focused on rehabilitating low to moderate income households and
providing grants and support to organizations that serve the housing needs of
Clayton County; and

Authority Board of Commissioners and an executive director, who diligently and
conscientiously devoted their time, talents, and energy to improving the lives
of residents in Clayton County; and
WHEREAS,
in 2008, the HACC formed the Clayton County Foreclosure Resource Center (CCFRC),
a multi-agency partnership organized to address the foreclosure crisis in the
county and includes the dedicated efforts of the Southern Crescent Habitat for

the center's neighborhood stabilization program; and
WHEREAS,
the CCFRC provides Clayton County residents assistance in dealing with
foreclosure through targeted mailings, a secure hotline to answer homeowner's
questions, educational workshops, free counseling sessions with HUD-approved
mortgage counselors, and a website with helpful programs, links, and resources;
