COLUMBUS—State Senator Bill Reineke (R-Tiffin) today applauded the announcement by The Ohio Department of Development that 28 communities across Ohio will receive a total of $20 million in funding to improve affordable housing and provide homeownership and rental assistance for low- and moderate-income families.
The Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) program partners with communities to preserve and improve Ohio’s affordable housing stock through housing-related initiatives such as home renovation and repair, rental assistance and more.
"Stable housing is a key factor in the quality of life and economic mobility of a person," Reineke said. "Opening the door to home ownership and helping keep housing opportunities open will profoundly impact our local communities and economies.
Funds granted to the 26th Senate District through the CHIP program include:
Crawford County: $500,000 grant to rehabilitate nine owner-occupied homes, repair 14 owner-occupied homes, and will include a fair housing component. The county will partner with the cities of Galion and Bucyrus.
Marion County: $750,000 grant to rehabilitate six owner-occupied homes, repair 11 owner-occupied homes, and will include a fair housing component. The county will partner with the City of Marion.
The City of Fostoria: $525,000 grant to rehabilitate 10 owner-occupied homes, repair 14 owner-occupied homes, provide septic repair to one home, and will include a fair housing component. The city will partner with The City of Tiffin and Seneca County.
