Jacksonville Adds 14 Affordable Housing Lots

Jacksonville just added fourteen new city-owned lots to its affordable housing pipeline, approved unanimously by city council, spread across North, Northwest, and Eastside neighborhoods. These properties — valued at nearly $200K total — are zoned for single-family or small multi-unit homes and must stay affordable for 99 years. Of last year’s 37 sites, 18 are already occupied, 12 have extensions, and 2 reverted to the city. Officials are tackling 5 non-compliant sites. With rising rents and home prices, the city is ramping up efforts, including a $2M state grant for low-income buyers and a new affordable housing trust fund in the mayor’s upcoming budget. Competition for these 14 lots? Expect it to be fierce. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
