Under Mayor Mahoney’s leadership, Jackson is developing and implementing novel programs to expand affordable housing: providing down-payment assistance, setting a goal to construct 100 homes on city-owned vacant land, transforming a downtown hotel, and more. Initiatives are aimed at housing low-income households. The city has a goal of adding 4500 affordable options in 10 years.
