Gwinnett County, a suburban community located in the northeast portion of the AtlantaMetropolitan area, has been a recipient of HOME funding since 1992. From 1992‐1999,Gwinnett received funds as a part of a Consortium that included Cobb County, FultonCounty (excluding the City of Atlanta), Clayton County, and the Cities of Marietta andRoswell. InMayof1999, theFultonCountyBoardofCommissionersvoted towithdrawfrom the GUCC, commencingwith the Program Year 2000. Fulton County’s withdrawalfromtheGUCCcausedClaytonandGwinnettCountiestolosetheircontiguousborderwithCobbCountyandtheirabilitytocontinueparticipationintheGUCCfortheyears2000andbeyond.
