Where We Build
More than 1,500 HabiJax homes have been built in Duval County, located in Northeast Florida. HabiJax works closely with the City of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Housing Commission to determine appropriate locations, land use, and properties to build. HabiJax builds homes on land donated or acquired from public and private sources at a low cost in locations that contribute to overall community revitalization. Scattered in-fill homes are built in existing neighborhoods as well as planned home developments within Jacksonville’s urban core, such as the successful McNair Park Villas development located on the site of the former Brentwood public housing project.
