JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, alongside the Jacksonville Bar Association (JBA), is planning to implement a program to help residents with a prevention of Evictions and Foreclosures. The program will provide more than $5.1 million to Duval County residents and business owners who may lose their apartment, home or business location due to the economic impact of COVID-19, according to a release. Applications will be accepted at JacksonvilleCares.com for residential properties starting Thursday, Dec. 3, followed by commercial properties the week of Dec. 7. “Although necessary, the safety measures implemented during the pandemic negatively affected some of Jacksonville’s citizens,” Curry said. As we work toward returning to normal, I hope this assistance will provide relief to our neighbors and move them closer to recovery.
