Eligible families that are facing eviction will be prioritized and assistance must be used to reduce outstanding payments before the household may receive funds for future payments. https://t.co/vPcTp1Ym9E
Monday at noon I will announce a new round of federal funding for rent and utility assistance for Jacksonville residents who meet certain federal qualifications. COVID-19 continues to financially impact our neighbors and I’m pleased to let you know more help is on the way.
