Kingsland Home Again Program

After the events of Hurricane Irma in 2017, the 31548 zip code was declared a Most Impacted and Distressed area, qualifying the State of Georgia for disaster recovery funds. As part of the Georgia Department of Community Affair's Homeowner Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Program, the City of Kingsland is pleased to offer the Kingsland Home Again Program.
