Florida’s emergency rental assistance relief program, Our Florida, announced it sent more than $51 million to families between March 10 and March 23.
Just how much of that money was actually deposited, and how much of it is really helping people?
Action News Jax has been receiving emails and calls for help from several viewers, claiming their money was reportedly sent by the state but never arrived.
A month ago, a Jacksonville woman was waiting on several checks. This time, it’s the same story again; a man in Orange Park was supposed to be evicted Wednesday, March 30.
Eric Strickland’s apartment is currently empty. He has packed up all his belongings and moved his furniture to a friend’s house.
“I packed everything up to move out because I didn’t want to come home one day… and all my stuff is at the dumpster,” Strickland said.
March 30 was his eviction date.
“I should have gotten over $6,000 by now,” Strickland said.
