Nonprofit leader: 'You can’t do affordable housing by yourself'
Bill Lazar has been in the business of helping to develop low-cost housing in Northeast Florida for more than two decades, and those efforts have never been more essential.
It also provides repair services to help low-income homeowners stay in their homes. Lazar said SJHP worked on about 200 homes just last year. The measure failed by a 3-2 vote to further the consideration of a housing authority, mainly on the grounds of not wanting to create another"big government" program for the county to manage.
Solving the housing problem isn't something that's going to be done by one government program or office, Lazar said. The same goes for one or two nonprofits. SJHP, for example, is a small operation that provides some relief to local families, but its scope is limited."You can’t do affordable housing by yourself," Lazar said."You’ve got to have builders, developers, local government and lenders all willing to say: ‘I’ll do a little bit to help.
