The City of Refuge and the Westside Future Fund recently welcomed the first residents to The 1300: A Beloved Inspired Community, located directly across City of Refuge’s campus on Joseph E. Boone Boulevard. Where there had once stood an apartment complex in complete disrepair, there is now a 47-unit complex of 2- and 3-bedroom / 2-bath apartments – perfect for families previously at risk of displacement. City of Refuge and Westside Future Fund will jointly own and manage the property, offering about one third of the units to graduates of City of Refuge’s workforce training programs and residential program participants. The two organizations formed a joint venture to complete The 1300, with the help of local firm Nelson Mullins, which provided pro bono legal services. For more information, visit cityofrefugeatl.org.
