ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (July 21, 2021) – The St. Johns Housing Partnership (SJHP), creating safe, clean, affordable housing in North Florida since 1996, has openings in construction industry trades for remodeling and new construction.
“Working at the housing partnership is a non-traditional experience,” said Executive Director Bill Lazar. “I began working with affordable housing programs 30 years ago as a carpenter and grew into my current job as director.”
SJHP incorporates accessibility, energy conservation, and green building into remodeling and new construction. They are accepting applicants at all skill and experience levels.
