JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville’s Eureka Gardens apartment complex could officially have new ownership later this summer, according to a new financial filing from its current owners. Global Ministries Foundation, the Memphis-based nonprofit that owns Eureka Gardens and other complexes subsidized through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Section 8 program, listed the property for sale more than two years ago. Millennia Housing Development is in the process of buying Eureka Gardens and GMF’s 36 other Section 8 properties. Millennia is preparing for a $40 million rehabilitation of Eureka Gardens and three of the other properties it is buying in Jacksonville. The Ohio-based real estate company took over day-to-day management of Eureka Gardens in February 2017.

Al Lawson, D-Tallahassee, both said that 18 months with no improvements to the conditions at Eureka Gardens is unacceptable. Lawson said that the people living at Eureka Gardens are just like other Americans: They just want a clean, affordable, safe place to call home.
