Building Pathways to Stable, Affordable Housing in Northwest georgia
The Dalton-Whitfield Community Development Corporation helps families access safe housing, supportive services, and long-term stability - one household at a time.
What we Do
Permanent Housing
We provide safe, affordable rentals to formerly homeless individuals and their families, as well as people with certain disabilities.
Transitional Housing
We help families exit unsafe motels and move toward stability through furnished transitional apartments, including our new Community Heights initiative.
Housing Counseling
Our HUD-certified housing counselor supports first-time homebuyers, renters, and current homeowners facing financial difficulty or foreclosure.
Introducing Community Heights, A First-of-Its-Kind Housing Resource Center for Whitfield County
Families with children are living in unsafe motels because Dalton has no emergency shelter for families. Community Heights will change that by providing safe, affordable rooms and a central resource hub for nonprofits to provide housing-related services.
our Impact Snapshot
Every year, our programs touch hundreds of lives through both one-time emergency assistance and long-term support.
“The DWCDC has made a real difference in my family’s life. Having stable housing gave us the chance to breathe, reset, and focus on moving forward instead of just surviving day to day. Their support and structure helped us regain stability and hope for the future. Because of them, we are finally in a position to get back on our feet and work toward long-term independence.”
