The Alachua County Division of Housing and Strategic Development is seeking qualified applicants to submit innovative proposals for a grant to develop the “East Gainesville Legacy Project.”
Applications are due no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, March 20, 2026, and must be submitted to housing@alachuacounty.us. Late submissions will not be accepted or considered. Early submissions are encouraged.
The project focuses on creating sustainable, affordable homeownership opportunities to improve residents' quality of life and boost the local economy. It will develop market-rate and affordable single-family homes and create opportunities for homeownership and neighborhood revitalization. The initiative stems from feedback emphasizing the need for workforce housing and market-rate housing in the area.
The East Gainesville Legacy Project is a significant investment in housing, economic growth and community development. The location for the project is a 13-acre site at the corner of Southeast 15th Street and Southeast 8th Avenue, near the Lincoln Heights and Azalea Trail neighborhoods.
