One of our most impactful programs is our Restore, Repair & Resiliency program with @cdceastside and @newsfromjea, helping longtime homeowners remain in the neighborhood their families have called home for generations. Thanks to students from @jamsjax, this video explores the origins and evolution of the program, with partners like @unitedwaynefl, @liscjax and @wellsfargo sharing the many heartwarming stories along the way.

2024 was an incredible year for our mixed-income housing work. With training and brand new houses, we supported new community champions on their path to homeownership with @LISCJax, we repaired homes for existing homeowners so they can remain in the neighborhood their families have called home for generations with @CdcEastside and @NewsfromJEA, and we improved living conditions at two apartment complexes.

It was an honor to celebrate with @LISCJax at their 25th Anniversary Celebration & Community Development Awards last night. LISC Jacksonville has accomplished so much over those 25 years, including $132 million invested into underserved neighborhoods, 2,663 affordable housing units renovated or constructed and 3,120 jobs created.
I’m so excited about the work ahead, and I’m looking forward to the continued partnership between LISC and the City of Jacksonville. Let’s keep working together to invest in our neighborhoods so everyone has the opportunity to thrive in a healthier, happier, safer, and more prosperous future for all of us.
