The City is in contact with the Town Center Apartment owners to form an agreement to extend the owners’ deadline for evictions until June 30, 2022. Town Center Apartment owners will have final say for their eviction timeline.

Residents of the designated 67 units who are relocating within the City limits may contact Onslow Community Outreach at 910 455-5733 or visit OnslowCo.org to request assistance.
Affected residents relocating outside of City limits may also call Onslow Community Outreach for similar assistance which has been established through the OSDRA (Onslow Strong Disaster Recovery Alliance). Onslow Community Outreach is the contact for this assistance fund.
Some private rental properties in Jacksonville are setting aside units especially for the residents of the 67 units. To apply for one of these rentals, residents can contact Onslow Community Outreach.
