JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 United Way of Northeast Florida has received a $1 million grant from The Jim Moran Foundation to expand its Home Repair Program into two Jacksonville neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
The grant will extend the existing program from North Riverside and the Historic Eastside into New Town and Robinson\u2019s Addition, targeting home repairs for low-income seniors. It was given in recognition of The Jim Moran Foundation\u2019s 25th anniversary.<\/p>\n
To qualify, homeowners must be 65 or older, hold a clear property deed and have no outstanding taxes or liens. Eligible repairs include roofing deficiencies, plumbing and sewer failures, non-functioning HVAC systems, electrical hazards and structural flooring damage. The grant is expected to support repairs for 45 households.<\/p>\n
The investment aligns with United Way\u2019s 2030 strategic plan, which aims to repair 450 senior-owned homes by 2030. According to the organization\u2019s latest ALICE report, 39.6% of households in Northeast Florida face financial hardship.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor many older adults in long-neglected communities, a repaired roof, working plumbing or safe flooring can mean the difference between independence and displacement,\u201d said Melanie Patz, United Way of Northeast Florida president and CEO.<\/p>\n
