Nearly 40% of Jacksonville families qualify for affordable housing | Addressing A4dability

Nearly 40% of families in Jacksonville qualify for most affordable housing programs, according to city data — a reality local housing leaders say highlights just how widespread the affordability crisis has become. Reggie Fullwood, the new CEO of Ability Housing, says the numbers show affordable housing is not limited to the lowest-income residents. Instead, he says many working families are struggling to keep up with rising housing costs. “Most families, even two-income families, are struggling to afford housing right now,” Fullwood said.
