The organization Changing Homelessness said it would cost about $5 million to help 200 people currently on the streets who are chronically homeless.
CEO Dawn Gilman said that’s actually cheaper than the at least $6 million the city already spends on services for those individuals through the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and Jacksonville Fire & Rescue, for example, with calls for service.
The first meeting is in November and will be done by April with a final report. It will also look into affordable housing with possible funding to help contractors get off the ground with lower interest rates.
