The Sulzbacher Center is the only comprehensive homeless facility in Jacksonville, Florida where the average stay is two months.
A case manager works with every client to develop a plan to transition back into the community.
Sulzbacher was a successful insurance broker and civic leader who entered politics during the Jacksonville Consolidation era and was elected to the Jacksonville City Council in 1968.
I. M. Sulzbacher served as a center board member who led fundraising efforts and donated his own money and time.
The remaining $1.7 million came from United Way, private individuals, corporate donations and grants from foundations.
