Policies, Plans & Reports

Across Georgia, housing is emerging as a critical concern for communities of all shapes and sizes. Small- to mid-sized cities and large metropolises alike face issues related to housing choice, attainability, and resiliency.

Leadership at the Covington Housing Authority, which serves all of Newton County as well as its cities, recognized this fact when they approached the Georgia Conservancy in 2018. As a major housing influencer in Newton County, they sought to understand more deeply the challenges facing Newton County and its cities, especially in light of heightened economic growth and interest arriving to the area. With the best available information on Newton County's housing supply, demand, and growth projections, Covington Housing Authority would be well positioned to create positive change and strengthen communities in Newton County.
