We need your help to provide services that impact the lives of low-income families and help to break the cycle of poverty.
HADC and its 501(c)3 nonprofit affiliate, Resident Services Corporation (RSC), are building a network of providers working to break the cycle of poverty. RSC offers HCV participants programs to help educate and build soft skills to become more self-reliant and break away from their need for public assistance.
How you can help us.
Donations from philanthropic individuals and foundations are vital to our work! Be a part of positive change by supporting programs that directly underpin the economic stability, health, and well-being of the individuals and families HADC serves.
Why Donate?
We are working to tackle big issues in our community by supporting programs to assist families with resources they need to become self-sufficient and by working with the broader community to create solutions for the challenges of generational poverty. Link here to make a donation online. Your donation, no matter how small, is appreciated!

HADC Landlord Advisory Board:
Why I Serve?
"I serve in my capacity as a Residential Real Estate Broker because I know that strategic insight, open-ended dialogue and honest feedback amongst housing providers, financiers and stakeholders is key to successfully providing housing solutions for all of DeKalb county." — Sandra Isiguzo
"To whom much is given, much is required." — Bobbie Kennedy Sanford
"I serve to 'receive' and 'disperse' information obtained from the HADC to my community, thereby making DeKalb County a desirable place to live." — Homer Eatman
"I want to provide solutions to make processes, protocols, and technologies more efficient and effective for tenants, landlords, and HADC!" — Kimberly Williams
"I serve because as Steve Maraboli said, 'A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.'" — Urenna' Crawford
The role of the Landlord Advisory Board (LAB) is to provide feedback regarding HADC policies and to stay informed about the HCV program and their rights and responsibilities.
Break It Down:
Resident Assistance Demonstration (RAD)
The Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) was authorized by Congress under the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) appropriations act. RAD seeks to preserve public housing by allowing PHAs and owners of other HUD-assisted properties to convert units from their original sources of HUD financing to project-based Section 8 contracts.
Five Things You Should Know About RAD:
- RAD allows PHAs to leverage public and private debt and equity for reinvestment in public housing stock. This is critical given the $25.6 billion backlog of needed public housing capital improvements.
- RAD units move to a Section 8 platform with a long-term contract that, by law, must be renewed. This ensures that units remain affordable to low-income households.
- Residents pay 30% of their income towards rent and maintain the same basic rights as those in the public housing program.
- RAD maintains public stewardship of the converted property through clear rules on ownership and use.
- RAD is cost-neutral and does not increase HUD's budget. The program shifts units from public housing to a project-based Section 8 program so that providers may leverage private capital markets for capital improvements.
