St. Johns Housing Partnership, Rotary Club of Bartram Trail - Julington Creek, Creekside High School Engineering Club, and Builders Care came together in Northwest St. Johns County Saturday to build a much-needed deck and wheelchair ramp for a disabled veteran.
"Everyone pulled together to make this happen,” noted Bartram Trail Rotary Club President Jose Gavarrette. “Giving back to the community is a big part of what we do in Rotary. Thanks to Andy Chambers of MasterCraft Builder Group, the St. Johns Housing Partnership, Builders Care, and the Creekside High Engineering Club as well as all the many other dedicated volunteers.”
Creekside students under the guidance of teacher Kevin Davenport are regular volunteers for these kinds of projects.
"Working on St. Johns Housing Partnership volunteer projects is more than learning skills; they create an impactful, real-world experience for my students," added Davenport.

Money is available.
Millions of dollars are available in local funding from several sources. That money, your money, can be earmarked for local affordable housing initiatives.
Contact your county or city commissioner. Ask them what the plan is to solve this local crisis using available funding. Are they aware? Are they mobilizing? Most of the funding has been allocated and already sitting in government coffers. We need a plan. Movement in the right direction depends on you.

The State of Affordable Housing?
According to research by Apartment List, a rental listing company, five Florida cities (Miami, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville) are among the top 20 U.S. cities with the fastest climbing rent prices.
