About the Housing Partnership
A diverse group came together in 1992 to address a single concern — making better housing available to every person in the community. Since then, the Housing Partnership of Northeast Florida has continued to broaden its reach, offering a complete range of services to those who need it most and more ways for the community to help. See our timeline for the agency's major milestones.
The Housing Partnership is led by an experienced board of directors, comprised of 15 members drawn from all areas of the city. Reflecting the community-based nature of the Housing Partnership, the board includes representatives of neighborhood organizations and the private sector.

I want to thank you for releasing me from the 'prison' of my home. I am now able to go out of this house because of all of you. Thanks a million for my wheelchair ramp.
