Affordable housing is a fundamental need and a key component of a thriving community. Our campaign is committed to ensuring that every Ohioan has access to safe, affordable housing. By supporting initiatives that make housing more accessible and affordable, we aim to create a state where everyone has a place to call home.
We believe that housing should not be out of reach for hardworking families, seniors, and young professionals alike. Our plan includes the development of affordable housing projects across Ohio, particularly in areas where housing costs have risen sharply. By working with local governments, developers, and community organizations, we will promote the construction of new affordable housing units, as well as the preservation of existing ones.
In addition to new developments, we will advocate for expanded assistance programs that help low- and middle-income families secure affordable housing. This includes increasing funding for rental assistance, down payment assistance, and housing vouchers, making it easier for more Ohioans to find and maintain stable housing. We will also push for policies that protect tenants from unfair practices, ensuring that everyone has a fair shot at securing a home.
Homeownership is a cornerstone of the American Dream, and we are committed to making it more attainable for Ohioans. Our approach includes promoting programs that provide financial literacy education, helping potential homeowners understand their options and navigate the home-buying process. We will also support initiatives that make it easier for first-time homebuyers to enter the market, including tax incentives and low-interest loans.
Addressing homelessness is a critical part of our housing agenda. We will support comprehensive solutions that provide not just shelter but also the services and resources needed to help individuals and families transition from homelessness to stable housing. This includes expanding access to mental health services, job training programs, and other support systems that can help individuals regain their footing.
We understand that housing affordability is interconnected with broader economic issues, such as wages, job opportunities, and the cost of living. That’s why our housing strategy is part of a larger effort to strengthen Ohio’s economy, create good-paying jobs, and ensure that every resident can afford to live with dignity and security.
By focusing on housing affordability, we are working to build stronger, more inclusive communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Together, we can make Ohio a state where affordable housing is not just a goal but a reality for all.
