Summary
Ordinance 2026-221, introduced by the City of Jacksonville Council President at the Mayor's request, confirms the appointment of Shannon Nazworth to the Jacksonville Housing Finance Authority (JHFA). This ordinance allows Nazworth, a resident of St. Johns County, to serve a partial term expiring on June 30, 2027, followed by a full term until June 30, 2031. Although she does not reside in Duval County, her extensive leadership experience in affordable housing and significant business interests in the area prompted the waiver of the residency requirement. The legislation is vital as it facilitates the inclusion of qualified individuals who can contribute to housing finance initiatives, addressing the critical need for affordable housing solutions in Jacksonville.
