For months, the News4Jax I-TEAM has been digging into reports that show the area on Jacksonville's Northside in which HabiJax chose to build 85 homes in 2000, is located near a landfill that may not have been lined in the 1950's.
Within a few years after the homes were built by HabiJax and 10,000 volunteers in 17 days, residents said that they noticed their homes were shaking and unsettled.
The Jacksonville City Council voted in favor of granting more than $840,000 to HabiJax for new construction, despite objections from Fairway Oaks residents who blame the nonprofit for poor construction.
