DETAILS

Ahmad Crews is a private landlord/tenant attorney who wants to help those in poverty and a poor housing situation.

“Housing in Albany is pretty bad and they needed someone down here to tackle those issues,” said Crews.

He is spear-heading the private landlord and tenant part of Georgia Legal Service Program’s practice.

With the help of a grant given to all the GLSP divisions in the state, for the next two years, he’ll work with Dougherty County residents living 200 percent below poverty, and not in government housing.
