Giving Voice to Us

Giving Voice to Us is a collaborative project between the University of Georgia School of Social Work and Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication that sheds light on the people who live in public housing in Athens. By using multimedia technology, we help these people tell their stories about their homes, community and lives, and to help the community see the human side of people living in public housing, rather than the negative stereotypes that abound.
