Jacksonville Eviction Diversion Collaborative
The Jacksonville Eviction Diversion Collaborative is a transformational pilot program between the City of Jacksonville, United Way of Northeast Florida, the Fourth Judicial Circuit Court, Jacksonville Area Legal Aid (JALA), and The LJD Jewish Family & Community Services that launched in January 2024. JFCS Court Eviction Specialists provide timely rental and limited utility assistance to eligible eviction cases, and case management – “a game changer” – creating an efficient, lower-cost way to keep families stably housed, navigate the complex eviction court process, access resources and avoid homelessness. Identified cases are fast-tracked so that families can be connected to critical JFCS and community resources to help avoid eviction and keep families together.
