JACKSON, Tenn.–Developers are working to get affordable housing built around two new area high schools.
A multi-agency partnership between Community Redevelopment Agency, Healthy Community , and the City of Jackson is helping to bring communities in the Hub City together by building affordable housing for residents.
Four of them are being built in East Jackson on Dupree Street and other homes next to JCM and Madison Academic, with more to come.
“It’s been a long time since new construction houses have been built in east Jackson. I think that this particular street has seen the positive benefits considering Southwest has already built four houses on this street,” said Brain James, Director of Community Development for Health Community, LLC.
