CDCs aren’t a “nice extra.”
They’re infrastructure for thriving neighborhoods: right here in Florida. 🌴

2025 reports show the impact:
✨ $750M generated in economic value by Florida CDCs (CDC of Tampa, May 2025).
✨ $75M in new funding secured for Florida healthcare + workforce training (FCLF, Dec 2025).
✨ Jacksonville’s Oct 2025 report calls CDCs “critical partners” for neighborhood investment.

On the Eastside (OUTEAST), we carry that same spirit.
Community-led. Holistic. Built for today: and future generations.

✨ $75 Million in new funding just secured for Florida healthcare and workforce training (FCLF, Dec 2025).
✨ Jacksonville's own Oct 2025 report names CDCs as “critical partners” for neighborhood investment.

See how we got here so we can understand how to move forward together with all that’s happening in our great city.

This piece, Eastside Reimagined, reflects the history of redlining, segregation, displacement, and the resilience of communities that refused to disappear. The red line represents division. Together we have the power to rethink, rebuild, and reimagine our future together through withintrification, revitalization , culture, equity, and community voice.

OutEast has always been more than a place.
It is legacy.
It is creativity.
It is resilience.
It is home.

Our CEO, Suzanne Pickett, took the stage at the Purpose Built Communities Conference hosted by , in Jacksonville bringing the fire and the vision of Out East to the national conversation.

From the morning plenary session to a deep-dive workshop, the message was clear: Preserving neighborhood legacy is not just about the buildings: it is about the spirits that inhabit them.

✨ Building power through community-led transformation.
✨ Honoring the ancestral roots of our streets.
✨ Ensuring every brick laid serves the generations to come.

In "Preserving Neighborhood Legacy," Suzanne sat down with Dr. La’Neice Littleton@historianbae for a conversation that moved beyond infrastructure and into the soul of what it means to prosper in place.

Seven years of nourishing the soul of the Eastside. ✨

Food is more than sustenance: it’s the heartbeat of community health and the foundation of everything we build. For seven years, we’ve stood on the front lines of food security, ensuring that our neighbors don't just survive, but thrive right here in the place we call home.

This labor of love is made possible by the power of partnership. We are deeply grateful to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with:

Prospering in place is more than a slogan: it’s the heartbeat of our mission.

We are so proud to celebrate Nikita and her family as they settle into HECDC’s very first new construction home. This isn't just about four walls and a roof; it’s about rooting our people in the neighborhood they love.

At 1036, history meets hope. We’re building modern, sustainable spaces where legacy can thrive for generations to come.

Empowering families
Securing local history
Building a future we all own

This is what happens when a community leads its own transformation. Join us as we keep building, keep dreaming, and keep making history together.

Let’s make this count! 🧡

Nothing beats an afternoon on the Ave with the legends who built it. ✨

Miss Selena, Audrey, Arlene, and the Mother of Eastside herself, Miss Lucille, catching some sun after the Brotherhood Club’s Mother’s Day brunch.

Their legacy and leadership are the heartbeat of OutEast. We’re so grateful for the way they continue to inspire us to preserve and protect our history and heritage every single day.

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who make our community feel like home. ❤️
