SOUTH JACKSONVILLE â Even with Social Security, her late husband s pension as a former Jacksonville police chief and her own pension, Wanda Irlam says she would have a hard time paying rent for most two-bedroom apartments. I think it would be very hard to find a place, said Irlam, 84, a retired school food service worker who lives in the Jacksonville Affordable Housing development. This is just a good place to live, and it s very affordable and very safe.
Her $382-a-month rent, which covers water and sewer service in this Morgan County village adjacent to Jacksonville and 36 miles west of Springfield, compares with other rents for similar apartments in the area that can cost $800 or more per month.
