Over 200 families and individuals have purchased homes in the city of Atlanta with $15,000 down payment assistance grants from the NeighborhoodLIFTSM program. More than $2 million is still available. Resources for Residents and Communities and Invest Atlanta are local partners for the program, which was funded by Wells Fargo.
