Mission: The Gwinnett Housing Resource Partnership now does business as The IMPACT! Group. Our mission is to transform lives and strengthen communities by providing quality housing solutions. The IMPACT! Group has built a spectrum of services and programs addressing housing issues from homelessness to homeownership. We tackle “sticks and brick” housing problems by acquiring and rehabilitating dilapidated properties. We also work on the “hearts and minds” issues in low/moderate-income areas by providing homebuyer/homeowner education, housing counseling, emergency shelter and transitional housing, and other support for the housing needs and goals of our community members. In sum, The IMPACT! Group is a toolbox of housing-related resources to help people help themselves.
