Jackson’s New Plan to End Homelessness | Jackson News

Jackson City Council just greenlit a $220K contract with the Mississippi Housing Partnership to launch Homeward JXN — a bold new plan to fight homelessness by pairing stable housing with wraparound support. While some council members questioned whether housing alone is enough, advocates countered that case management helps residents tackle jobs, transportation, and family reconnection. The initiative aims to house 300 chronically homeless people over two years and provide rapid assistance to 1,100 more, offering 12 months of rent help with the goal of self-sufficiency by month 13 — all funded through federal HOME American Rescue Plan dollars targeting low-income families.
