Our Work
Four interconnected programs building community strength
Programs
How We Create Change
Each of our four program areas addresses a critical dimension of community wellbeing — and all four work together as a unified strategy.
Housing
The North Port St. Joe community has identified housing as a top concern. NPSJCDC is pursuing land purchases, accessory dwelling units, a community land trust, blight management partnerships, and property preservation work so residents can remain within their community.

Public Health
NPSJCDC's public health work responds to the long-term effects of industrial pollution and structural racism in health. The work includes a Health Impact Assessment and a Transformative Scenario Process for a healthy future.
