Pretium's Senior Managing Director Jocelyn Moore Delivers Prepared Remarks Alongside Mayor Dickens

Remarks as Prepared for Delivery

ATLANTA, Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Good morning. Thank you, Mayor Dickens, for your leadership on affordable housing, including Forest Cove, and for this opportunity to reflect on the power of community. I bring you greetings on behalf of Pretium's Founder and CEO, Don Mullen, who wanted to be here in person, but is traveling internationally today.

Pretium is deeply honored to be among the private sector partners joining this collaborative community effort to relocate Forest Cove families to quality, safe, stable, and affordable housing.

One of Pretium's core values is using the power of private capital for public good. When we learned of the City's challenges finding housing for Forest Cove families requiring larger 3- and 4-bedroom homes, we immediately brought the resources of Pretium to bear to offer single-family rentals for these families.

Working closely with our single-family rental management company Progress Residential — as well as the Community Foundation, Open Doors, and APD Urban Planning and Management — we have been able to meet the specialized needs of individual families, including access to public transportation and close proximity to schools.

One example is the dedicated work done to fulfill the request of a mother asking for a one-story, accessible home for her child with disabilities. Another example is a resident overcome with emotion because her new home is located closer to her family, allowing her to be surrounded with a strong support system for this next chapter.

Congratulations again on this historic milestone, Mayor Dickens. Pretium and Progress look forward to building upon this unique public-private partnership to promote even greater housing affordability in metro Atlanta and beyond.
