Jones, HAFC deputy executive director since 1998, will serve in the position while the Board conducts a search for a successor to Bettye A. Davis, who will become executive director of the DeKalb Housing Authority October 4. A 30-year veteran of the housing and community development field, Jones will provide day-to-day leadership for the HAFC, which provides and advocates affordable housing in unincorporated Fulton County. The College Park resident has served as a consultant to the Housing Assistance Council, field service officer for Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation, and executive director of Southeastern Reinvestment Ventures. He has a bachelors degree from Fisk University and a masters degree from Atlanta University.Ê The HAFC was created in 1972 by Fulton County legislation to help fill the need for decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing in unincorporated Fulton County. The Authority is using $100 million, including a $17.2 million HOPE VI grant, to create two mixed-use, live-work-play affordable housing communities for working families. The new "villages" will be on the sites of the former Red Oak and Boat Rock public housing communities in South Fulton.
