Community Focus

Homeless Support Services

Here in Gainesville, we believe in a compassionate and dignified approach to helping our houseless neighbors – an approach that starts with active listening.

Climate Action

Beginning with the selection of a chief climate officer in January 2023, the City of Gainesville looks to bring together its climate initiatives and get residents involved.

Choice Neighborhood Initiative

In September 2023, the City of Gainesville and the Gainesville Housing Authority (GHA) were awarded a $500,000 Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This grant will be used to create a plan to redevelop and revitalize neighborhoods in east Gainesville.

UF Transit Services Agreement

In March 2024, University of Florida officials notified City of Gainesville leaders of their plans to let the current contract for RTS bus service expire on June 30, 2024 without renewal. Instead, UF officials proposed a month-to-month agreement with the City, beginning July 1 (as they explore other transportation options).
