Manage episode 434205219 series 3382634
The Georgia Department of Community Affairs offers several affordable housing programs, including The Georgia Dream Homeownership Program, which includes two new programs launched within the last six months for first-time homebuyers. Commissioner Christopher Nunn and Deputy Commissioner for Homeownership Wesley Brooks discuss the current housing market in Georgia and their initiatives aimed to help more Georgians purchase homes.
Plus, an open records request from The Brennan Center For Justice reportedly reveals widespread surveillance by Atlanta Police of political activity, particularly focused on 'Cop City' opponents. Spencer Reynolds, senior counsel for the Brennan Center, joins “Closer Look” to shares what was found in the many pages of documents, his concerns over this level of monitoring by Atlanta Police, and what guardrails should be placed on the agency's surveillance efforts.
