Family Wealth Coalition -Helping Our Neighbors Pay Property Taxes
Partnership w/ LISC and The Community Foundation of Northeast Florida
Northriverside CDC is committed to helping our residents stay in their homes.
We have partnered with LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corporation Jacksonville) and The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, including Three Rivers Legal Services and others, have identified homes in which the current owners do not have clear title due to lack of estate planning or probate administration by the prior family owners. The result is that current owners – who are typically children or grandchildren of the prior owner – are unable to obtain home improvement loans, reap homestead exemption benefits, or leverage the home equity to start a business or pay for education. North Riverside CDC and its partners are working with these homeowners to obtain clear title and estate plans to preserve their assets for generations to come. We have also expanded our outreach to include helping our residents in need pay their property taxes. We are currently working with our partners (LISC and Groundwork Jacksonville) to include home repair programs.
