Ability Housing has received a $500,000 grant from The Jim Moran Foundation to address the affordable housing crisis in Northeast Florida.

This multi-year, capacity-building grant will support Ability Housing’s efforts to increase the inventory of affordable housing in Duval County, where the organization currently owns and operates 378 units of rental housing that is affordable, high-quality, energy efficient and sustainable.

Jim Moran established The Jim Moran Foundation in 2000 to ensure his giving back to children and families would continue beyond his lifetime. To commemorate this 20-year milestone, The Foundation awarded more than $10 million in special grants that reach beyond its traditional funding priorities to support nonprofit partners that are meeting the ever-changing needs of the community in Broward, Duval and Palm Beach counties.
