News anchor Tiffany Salameh interviews Brooke Golzbein, Eviction Coordinator at JFCS, during a News4Jax investigative news report.
A widely cited 2019 report from Charles Schwab found that nearly 60% of Americans were living paycheck to paycheck or at risk of financial instability.
Our own Brooke Golzbein spoke about our partnership with the City of Jacksonville’s Eviction Diversion Program, which provides rental assistance to qualifying tenants in Duval County. Through this program, families can catch up on rent, utilities, and energy bills, all with the goal of helping people remain safely housed.
“There is a very great need in our community. Over 14,000 to 15,000 evictions are filed every year, and it’s only going to grow if we don’t step in now and help people.”
