The Interim CEO of the Jacksonville Housing Authority is now commenting on the shake-up in leadership at the agency. It comes on the heels of a former top leader’s arrest linked to stolen pre-paid cards meant for families who are struggling.
Former Deputy Chief Financial Officer Gregory Williams was arrested for credit card fraud after JHA board members reported the missing 13 pre-paid cards which are meant to help with people forced out of their homes.

Documents show that back in April, JHA employees reported the pre-paid cards, valued at $50 each, were gone. The cards were used at Publix and Biscottis, a restaurant in Avondale.
Surveillance video shows Williams using one card at a Publix, according to his arrest affidavit.
He was fired back in May for failing to come to work and arrested on Wednesday.
