State Rep. Angie Nixon of Duval County is calling on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to declare a state of emergency to deal with what she calls a housing crisis.

News4JAX has been reporting on the rising cost of homes and rent for months. Jacksonville, where Redfin estimates rents went up 31% last year, is among the hardest-hit cities for rent increases.

Nixon says that if this path continues, there will be an increase in homelessness and people leaving Florida.Nixon says she hears from people every day about rising housing costs. “I was looking for jobs here as well, but I’m also considering moving out of state, especially since I got family and other places where I can kind of stay with them for a little bit,” Hall said.
