Athens Clarke County, you've asked for this.

Homestead fills a void in workforce housing in Athens-Clarke County while providing safe, comfortable housing options for the working family. Athens-Clarke County has a commuting workforce, with approximately 2/3 of those employed in the county commuting from other areas.

ACC citizens and leadership a like have recognized that there is a severe lack of housing for working families. But what is being done?

“Finding affordable housing in Athens is a real challenge for many of us. Working people have trouble finding single-family homes they can afford. The good news is this is a local problem that local government can do something about, and if I’m elected mayor, we’ll make housing more affordable”

  • Dear Athens-Clarke County Planning Commissioners,


    I urge you to consider granting approval for the Homestead development. As you well know, Athens-Clarke County is facing a housing crisis. Currently, the opportunities for housing for working families who are employed in the county and wish to raise their families here, are extremely limited. I strongly believe that Homestead is the best opportunity we have for providing housing for working families in Athens-Clarke County.


    Homestead proposes to be: A mixed-use community, with a range of home plans at varying price points; The live, work and play community that citizens of ACC have asked for and deserve; And an opportunity for ACC leadership to make good on their pledges for more housing in the county for working families. Please, consider supporting Homestead so that Athens-Clarke County can begin to reverse course on its housing crisis by offering new living opportunities for working families.
