Before a city can buy a flood-prone home with grant funds, each one has to be appraised, titled and documented.
We managed the grant for the City of Jacksonville's acquisition of flood-prone homes in the Reeds subdivision: appraisal and title work, relocation, and closeout. The program ended with 17 homes acquired and demolished.
Every property started with an appraisal. The photographs here come from those files and show the condition of the exteriors.
