Groundskeeper & Facilities Tech

About the Organization

Affiliated Resources Group (ARG) specializes in housing and real estate development. By coordinating the missions of its affiliated companies, ARG works to maximize opportunities for economic growth and development to enhance lives through programs that expand economic opportunities for individuals and their families. ARG affiliates develop and manage housing, administer large government programs and provide consulting services to facilitate operational and programmatic sustainability.

ARG’s strategic objectives include long‑term sustainability, growth and development, quality of life, and creating a larger community. Operating under the umbrella of ARG, affiliated companies provide affordable housing solutions and promote community and economic development through rental assistance programs, resident services, and the revitalization of neighborhoods in DeKalb County and beyond.

Our history of partnering with private/public entities as well as administering federal programs has positioned ARG’s affiliates to successfully deliver affordable housing. We provide critical services that support the wellbeing of our clients/residents and pathways to self‑sufficiency for program participants that seek to break the cycle of poverty. Connecting the Agency’s larger objectives has helped ARG to thrive and expand our impact in the community.

As the largest affordable housing provider in DeKalb County, we are in a unique position to address the housing needs of low‑ and middle‑income residents.

ARG maintains a working culture that supports our staff by continually improving and optimizing the Agency’s organizational and operational effectiveness. The Agency continues to develop and position our team to succeed.
