Action News Jax has reported on issues at the agency dating back to 2023. This includes the resignations of numerous board members and former CEO Dwayne Alexander , who claimed he was forced out by the Mayor’s office. There have also been at least three Inspector General investigations already.
Last month, sources informed Action News Jax that the Mayor’s office discussed the city’s possibility of taking over the agency , which a city spokesperson denied.
Action News Jax reached out to Vanessa Dunn and is awaiting a response. Action News Jax will continue to follow the latest developments with the Housing Authority.
