Building a Better Tomorrow

The City of Jackson is committed to disaster recovery and affordable housing efforts that give every resident a voice — regardless of background or income. We share these documents to keep our community informed and involved.

  • Citizen Participation Plan — how you can share your thoughts on our community's housing needs, our process for public meetings, and how to submit feedback.
  • Language Access Plan — how we ensure federally funded programs are accessible to residents who do not speak English as their primary language, including translation at public hearings on request.
