On Thursday Habitat for Humanity of NW Metro Atlanta revealed a brand-new modern Habitat house design in Powder Springs and cut the ribbon to celebrate the new model, ushering in the next chapter of “Reimagining Communities.”
Local elected officials from Cobb County, the City of Powder Springs, the City of Austell, the City of Douglasville, Georgia House of Representatives and the Cobb Chamber of Commerce were on hand to help the Habitat board members, staff and volunteers cut the ribbon on the new home prototype. The characteristics of this home will be integrated into various layouts going into our next chapter as the affiliate serving Cobb, Douglas and Paulding counties.
“As we look ahead to our 40th anniversary reimagining communities’ campaign in 2026, this home represents a bold step forward—blending market-rate design with the unique needs in our communities,” said Bakari Brooks, Chairman of the Board, Habitat NWMA. “With architecturally rich features like a gabled roof, a one-car garage, a bright modern farm style exterior, and open floor plan, we’re setting a new standard for beauty, function, and attainability for affordable work-force housing.”
