Garrison For Veterans, Solutions For Veterans, The Dublin Housing Authority, Communities for Veterans, Wellington Development Company and the entire Freedom's Path Dublin Development Team are pleased to announce that Freedom's Path at Dublin, Georgia, a historic 50-unit, public-private Veteran housing development with the Department of Veterans Affairs, has closed on all financing.

Freedom's Path Dublin is a public-private partnership through an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), located on the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center campus.

Financing consists of Historic Tax Credits, 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits, VA Contribution, and Project Based HUD-VASH vouchers. Special thanks to the City of Dublin and Laurens County, Georgia State Historic Preservation Office, Georgia Department of Community Affairs, and the Department of Veterans Affairs for making this a reality.
