Housing Reimagined. Building a Solid Foundation for Ohio's Future. Following months of hearings around the state, the Ohio Senate's Select Committee on Housing released a comprehenisive report detailing the challenges facing Ohio's diverse housing markets.

Within the report's 94 pages, findings from hearings held in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Lima and Marietta combined with hearings from the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus painted a unique set of challenges facing Ohio's current inventory of homes that are available for sale, to hurdles facing new construction and affordable rental units.
