The Floyd Street Project

Creating Homes, Stability, and Independence

At Friends of JCDS, we believe everyone desreves a place to call home. That’s why we are building the Floyd Street Project – new, affordable, accessible apartments designed specifically to help individuals with disabilities live independently while remaining connected to the communities they know and love.

Real People. Real Impact.

Ron’s aging apartment is increasingly difficult to maintain, and rising rent creates constant uncertainty.

His hope for Floyd Street?

“A nice peaceful place to live. A place where I can relax and not worry.”

Your donation helps make these everyday hopes possible.
