Jackson Authority Builds Homes Directly | Jackson News

Jackson’s Redevelopment Authority is breaking new ground—literally—by launching its first residential construction project, partnering with Leflore Construction to build nine affordable homes on vacant land in Still Creek. With just ten permits issued last year, this initiative nearly matches the city’s entire annual housing output. Priced under $200K and featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms, these homes target affordability in a tight market. Leflore’s proven track record—including homes with 5,000 applicants—signals strong demand. Construction kicks off soon, with completion in six months, and more land is already earmarked for future development. This bold move isn’t just about building houses—it’s about revitalizing neighborhoods, boosting property values, and delivering real solutions for families seeking a home in Jackson.
