Edwards,

Darnell set town hall meetings

Fulton County

District 7 Commissioner William "Bill" Edwards and Vice Chairman

Emma I. Darnell will lead discussions about housing during town hall meetings

at a southwest Fulton church in June.

Ben Hill United

Methodist Church, 2099 Fairburn Road, SW, Atlanta, will be the site of

the session June 28.

The 7 p.m.

meeting will include presentations on predatory lending and the HOME program,

a HUD initiative that makes money available for buying or developing affordable

housing.

Many of the

approximately 3,000 residential foreclosures that occur annually in Fulton

County are due to home lending scams that target African-American and

elderly persons.

Staff from

the Housing Division of the Fulton County Environment and Community Development

Department will present information.
