"Haven is the largest development in South Atlanta right now – it's a big change," said Jim Wehner, president at Focused Community Strategies. "Change can be uncomfortable, since it innately disrupts the status quo to which we've grown accustomed. With Haven, we are glad to be disrupting the status quo by adding 84 homes for neighbors and creating intentional space for them to connect deeply with one another. Our hope is that the bonds formed at Haven will strengthen our entire South Atlanta community, even our city. Change can be disruptive, but it can also bring some beautiful results."
