Public Service Grant Program
The Public Service Grant Program (PSG) contracts with non-profit agencies to equip residents with necessary tools to facilitate their well being through intervention, education and opportunity. Previous agency performance, as evidenced by successful quality assurance reviews, is used to determine the providers selected to furnish measurable services that will improve the quality of life for Jacksonville's eligible residents in need.
