Affordable Housing & Homelessness

Mayor Donna Deegan is taking meaningful action to make housing more affordable and address homelessness in Jacksonville through a multifaceted strategy focused on inventory, prevention, and support. Her administration is allocating funds for the development of more housing that is affordable across that city and down-payment assistance to help first-time homebuyers achieve stable housing, while also supporting eviction diversion programs that keep families in their homes during times of crisis. In recognition of the urgent need for temporary housing solutions, Mayor Deegan is expanding shelter capacity and enhancing the reach and effectiveness of outreach teams who connect individuals experiencing homelessness with critical resources. These initiatives reflect a compassionate, proactive approach to the housing crisis, aimed at fostering long-term solutions and ensuring all residents have access to a safe, secure, and supportive home.
