Robin Pfalzgraf is a passionate advocate for safe and affordable housing with over two decades of experience in the nonprofit sector. As the Executive Director of the Jacksonville Community Land Trust, Robin’s journey is deeply intertwined with her commitment to improving community living conditions. Alongside her husband and their eight children, Robin has dedicated her career to ensuring that families have access to high-quality, affordable homes.
Robin’s extensive experience in the nonprofit world began with a focus on helping individuals secure housing, which naturally evolved into a strong advocacy for affordable housing solutions. Her work spans from aiding the homeless in finding stable housing to leading innovative projects that produce beautifully constructed homes. She is recognized for her approach to building and renovating homes, emphasizing not only quality and cost-effectiveness but also the importance of doing things differently to deliver the best possible outcomes for the community.
Before joining the Jacksonville Community Land Trust in January 2023, Robin gained recognition for her unique home construction projects, including moving houses and implementing effective home repair programs. Her approach, which prioritizes exceptional quality at the lowest possible cost to homeowners, has set her apart in the field.
Under Robin’s leadership, the Jacksonville Community Land Trust is poised to make significant strides, with plans to break ground on four new projects, continuing her legacy of transformative community impact.

We meet at Riverplace Tower, also known as the Ameris Bank building. This is a walkable location along the Southbank Riverwalk and also convenient to the First Coast Flyer and the Skyway Riverplace Station.

There is limited free street parking, and paid parking is also available in a neighboring surface lot and garage.

Entering from the Riverwalk: take the stairs or elevator next to Village Bread Company up to the Skyline Room.

Entering from Riverplace Blvd: take the escalators and walk toward the back of the building, behind the Ameris Bank offices.

Entering from the garage: make a right at the first bank of elevators and another right into the hallway between the Ameris Bank offices.

Entering from the driveway between Riverplace Tower and the Doubletree: Walk down the hallway to the left, and make another left toward Fresh Fork. Take the elevator or stairs near Fresh Fork to the meeting space.

Cuppa Jax holds gatherings for neighborhood and community leaders that are open to everyone in Jacksonville. Join us on Wednesday mornings in the Skyline Room in the Riverplace Tower on the Southbank to discuss important issues facing our city.

Scheduled speakers will talk for 10-15 minutes. The rest of the time is spent with Q&A and discussion of relevant issues brought up by participants. We also encourage attendees to make community announcements at the beginning of the program.

No membership fee. Unlike many other discussion forums in Jacksonville, there is no membership fee to attend or participate in Cuppa Jax. We do ask attendees to cover the cost of coffee and breakfast provided by Fresh Fork. If you cannot attend due to the cost of the event, please email [email protected] and we will be glad to cover your ticket.

Topical and timely. We are seeking local thought leaders who can discuss and educate about important community issues to speak at future dates. We don’t accept offers to speak about or pitch organizations. Cuppa Jax is non-partisan, and does not endorse candidates or issues. An offer to speak does not constitute an endorsement. It is simply an opportunity for the community to have a meaningful discussion.
