ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp an nounced Aug. 29 that his office will provide $62 million to help Georgia communities address homelessness and housing insecurity.
The governor’s office will award the funds to 20 organizations who applied via a competitive process. The funds will be used to build affordable housing, improve existing housing, and provide mental health services to people who are homeless.“AsGeorgians faced the unprec edented challenges and economic downturn of the pandemic, COVID-19 robbed some of their financial stabil ity, expanding the homeless popula tion in vulnerable communities,” said Kemp. “Those who were already home less faced even greater difficulties, with many already struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues.”
Bambiesaid. Hayes-Brown, president and CEO of Georgia ACT, a statewide coalition of affordable housing groups, said the funding will help organizations assist the disadvantaged.
“By investing these funds in those who are already making a difference around our state on these fronts, we will provide those most in need with resources that will aid them on the road to personal and financial recovery,” Kemp
A spokesman for Democrat Stacey Abrams – who is challenging Kemp for the governorship in November – criti cized Kemp’s announcement.

Some of the other groups awarded funding include Habitat for Humanity organizations in Athens, Troup County and Houston County.

“We would like to see more outreach to those small mission-based develop ers outside of metro Atlanta and [those groups] also given technical assistance to apply,” Hayes-Brown said.
The funds come from federal COVID relief funds provided to the state under the American Rescue Plan Act. Addi tional grants will be awarded this fall to groups working to help homeless Geor gians, said Andrew Isenhour, a spokes man for the governor.
“We know the work that our mis sion-based developers do is very impor tant to providing housing opportunities
“Kemp has repeatedly railed against spending that he’s now trying to claim credit for – even as housing costs con tinue to skyrocket on his watch with no response from him but election year gimmicks,” said Alex Floyd for the cam paign.

Floyd, an educator from a young age, said that after moving to Atlanta to study medieval church history in gradu ate school, he began teaching secular studies at a Jewish high school and then English as a second language.

Six Bridges bills itself as a “dog and family-friendly tap room” and describes its beer selection as “lagers, NEIPAs, pastry stouts, saisons, and fruited sours and more.

They are doing something very right, and we will be back I am sure.

Ray’s picks for music, performance and random
For those of you not so familiar, Crabapple feels like a smaller version of downtown Alpharetta or a scaled down version of Avalon. It’s quieter. The appeal is that it is less crowded – at least for now – and it just feels more “neighborly,” but with most of the amenities of those other two destinations. They are building lots of new retail, a restaurant “pod,” offices, and a combination of townhomes and loft-type residential. It is fun to live close enough to be able to watch the progress and feel like you are part of something special that is happening. Real estate values have appreciated but perhaps lag behind the white-hot Alpharetta market at this point. That is, not everyone has “discovered” Cra bapple.

The last house occupied by Billy Albertson’s parents on Birmingham Highway. The family lived there from the early 1950s to the mid-1970s.
Billy was born in Roswell on Etris Road in a house owned by his mother’s uncle Bill Etris, for whom Etris Road was named. The house had no electricity or plumbing. Billy’s parents Egbert Albert son (1892-1975) and Ola Bell Albertson (1891-1969) were sharecroppers on the property. This system of farming was common in Georgia where a tenant paid rent to a landowner farmer in the form

Billy’s father raised cotton for 30 years as a sharecropper before he saved enough to buy a small farm in Birming ham in 1945 near the Liberty Grove Church on the Cherokee County line. He grew cotton, which in the early 1940s remained Georgia’s premier cash crop de spite the boll weevil and declining cotton prices.

It’s said that “money does not buy happiness,” but it takes money to buy a Peloton stationary bike or other invest ments in self-improvement and healthy living that may add years beyond your scheduled expiration date. The famous contemporary philosopher Bo Derek
There’s an old saw about the “three phases of retirement”...go-go, slow-go, and no-go. Have a plan to cover slow-go and no-go eventualities. Elder care is expensive!Whatwe are talking about is “longrange financial life planning.” Look ing out over the next 10 years, and 10 years beyond that, what challenges, positive or negative, do you foresee?
that longer-term use of cannabis, ex tending from age 18 into the late 20s or beyond, was associated with “increased risk of self-reported health problems at age 50.” Problems included psychiatric and psychological disorders, use of more lethal drugs, alcoholism and physical illnesses. With harmful drug use of any kind, in addition to the cost to purchase the substances, overall earning power and financial wellbeing suffers. Financial poverty and “poverty of spirit” contrib utes to shortened life spans. If you have just turned 18 and are off to college, a work career, or the military, don’t let your dreams of success and financial independence go up in smoke or vapor!
Your answer to that question starts the conversation.Nextcomes a focus on the best alter native to answering each challenge, fol lowed by deducing the resources needed to power the best alternative for meeting challenges. Resources may involve finan cial capital or human capital.
once observed, “Whoever said money can’t buy happiness didn’t know where to shop.”Before you reach the Freedom Money level, you have to cover the basics and have a sufficient “safety money” reserve before you can begin to wisely and prudently pay for things in the “freedom and fun categories” without running up debt.

There is a distinct link between financial stability and healthy wellbeing and longevity. Average life expectancy at birth in 2020 was pegged at 77 years, down 1.8 years compared to 2019 due to COVID-19 and other factors. Where you live may make a difference. Hawaii had the highest life expectancy at 80.7 years; Mississippi the lowest reading at 71.9 years. The Southern states don’t fare all that well. Georgia’s life expectancy at birth in 2020 is 74.10 years, below average.
Many financial advisers promote achieving financial independence by your anticipated retirement date. Since “retirement” means different things to different people, why not pursue finan cial independence at the earliest date possible? Mitch Anthony, in his book, “The New Retirementality: Planning Your Life and Living Your Dreams...at Any Age You Want,” 5th Edition (Wiley, 2020), diagramed a financial rendition of Abraham Maslow’s famous Hierarchy of Needs. At the base of the pyramid is “Survival Money.” Once you earn and accumulate enough money after tax to meet basic needs, the next level is “Safety Money,” reserves to “meet life’s unexpected turns.” Next comes “Free dom Money,” spending on things that bring “enjoyment and fulfillment to life.” Like trying to achieve Diamond level in Delta Airline’s “hierarchy of frequent flyer perks” aimed at traveling in comfort up front in first class, focus on building Freedom Money.
heart disease, cancer and COVID-19 were the three top causes of death. Unintentional injuries such as drug overdoses, homicide and diabetes also contributed to lower life expectan cies compared to 2019. There’s in creased concern about patterns of mari juana use, facts of interest to parents who want to see their teenagers grow up, prosper, and live long.

In those instances, some students may be assigned to their second or third closest school site based on available space.While primary criteria leads to a decision nearly 80 percent of the time, Huff said the district may turn to secondary criteria for a final decision. These include traffic patterns, frequen cy of previous rezonings, school feeder alignment and balancing enrollment in special programs such as talented and gifted (TAG), and special needs popula tions.“We also look at not just where the students are today, but where we anticipate growth in the future,” Huff said.

Georgia tax revenues have been on the rise for more than a year, as the state built a record budget surplus com ing out of the coronavirus pandemic. Kemp said last month he would use part of the surplus to fund a proposed $2 billion income and property tax rebate to Georgia taxpayers next year if he wins reelection in November. That would be in addition to the $1.6 billion election-year rebate taxpayers received this year.

Then, in a 4-1 vote at an Aug. 1 meeting, council members approved the cost-share agreement. The ac cord included a caveat that the Pub lic Works Department examine and reevaluate one of the sign locations. Councilman Rick Mohrig cast the dis sentingMoorevote.did not vote on the mat ter on Aug. 1 “out of an abundance of caution,” but made clear he was not recusing himself to avoid appearing like he was admitting to any wrongdo ing. Moore maintained his innocence throughout the entire affair over the past couple of months.

However, after reaching a verdict, Pollack said the ethics panel agreed
that Moore had an interest in the matter and that he had not properly announced it at the beginning of the May 2 meeting or abstained from vot ing.“The interest did not need to be unique,” Pollack said. “There was a lot of testimony and evidence that Coun cil member Moore’s home was one of 28 affected by these traffic calming devices. … The council member did ultimately disclose that he lived in the neighborhood and never really hid that fact, so I don’t think there was any withholding of information.”
Pollack said the panel thought Moore most likely did not realize at the outset that he had an interest that could be subject to the ethics code but questioned why he didn’t ask the city attorney instead of the city manager before the meeting.

“I don’t think there was an intent to commit an ethics violation…,” Pollack said. “It probably would have been beneficial to side on the safe side in a case where there was a close call. I think that probably should have hap pened here.”
