The Jacksonville Housing Needs Assessment, a collaborative,
year-long project between Texas Target Communities
at Texas A&M University and several dedicated residents,
situates the community’s housing challenges in the context
of multiple sources of data, including consumers and
producers of housing. The report documents the methods
and analyses used to assess the City’s housing gaps and
estimate its housing needs. Furthermore, it discusses the
findings, implications, and recommendations developed by
the two entities to address the City’s housing challenges.
The chapters reflect the order of the process. The first chapter
provides background details on community engagement
and the origins of both the Housing Council of the Cherokee
County Human Needs Network and the Housing Needs
Assessment. The second chapter delves into Jacksonville’s
demographic overview, while the third chapter addresses
the City’s current housing inventory and conditions. The
fourth chapter interweaves the second and third chapters’
findings to situate the City’s housing gaps and estimated
housing needs. Finally, the fifth chapter proposes a series
of recommendations for addressing housing challengesThe Jacksonville Housing Needs Assessment, a collaborative,
