Jackson Approves Housing Pilot for Homeless | Jackson News

Jackson’s city council just approved an $80,000 contract with Clutch Consulting Group to tackle homelessness head-on—starting by the end of July. The pilot program, running August through October, will train local crews to connect with people in 50 scattered encampments, offer housing and support, and steer them into permanent homes—before even considering closures. Funding comes from federal housing dollars, including $60K originally earmarked for a canceled tiny home project. This is a major shift: housing first, not fines or sweeps.
