East Point Housing Authority - Awarded GMA Life & Health Insurance Fund’s Health Wellness Grant

EAST POINT, GEORGIA – We are excited to announce that the East Point Housing Authority has been awarded one of the 2025 Health Wellness Grants by the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA). The grant supports the East Point Housing Authority commitment to facilitating positive change in the workplace culture and going the extra mile for employees’ health wellness.

GMA is honored to collaborate with the East Point Housing Authority at every step of the health wellness journey. Awards are made statewide to Participating Employers enrolled in one or more medical plans through the GMEBS (Georgia Municipal Employees Benefit Services) Life and Health Insurance Fund.

The Health Wellness Program at GMA helps members embrace a variety of skills, mindsets, and cultures to encourage utmost wellbeing through workplace health wellness initiatives. These initiatives have a demonstrated track record of improving employee wellbeing and quality of life, while enhancing workplace morale, reducing medical claims, and maximizing cost impact.

The East Point Housing Authority has designated a Health Wellness Champion to coordinate/oversee the program and work in partnership with GMA to facilitate the planning of targeted activities. Tisa Thompson has expounded on ways the East Point Housing Authority would benefit from implementing workplace health wellness initiatives and has said, “Wellness initiatives (such as mental health support, stress management workshops, and fitness programs) can help reduce burnout and improve overall morale”.

It is the mission of the East Point Housing Authority to provide and encourage the development of quality affordable housing for individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and neighborhood revitalization.
