Hello. I am a 20 year resident of Escambia County with backgrounds in banking and health care. I am a member of JUST Pensacola, a faith based justice ministry. One of our 2021 missions is affordable housing. I have noticed many vacant tracts of land on Old Palafox and Olive Roads and wonder about their potential for affordable housing development. Would a member of AHAC be interested in attending a zoom meeting with JUST Pensacola? I would also welcome a personal email to learn more about AH in our area. When is the next AHAC meeting and if it is open to the public. .
Thank you,
Lauren Green
This would be nice if the Affordable Housing was for every area in Escambia County Research indicates only for selected areas with crime & rundown houses & property.
