A mixed-use development project that will bring “47 units of affordable housing and renovated commercial space” to Cincinnati’s Lower Price Hill has landed approximately $846,000 in federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits administered by the Ohio Housing Finance Authority (OHFA), CityBeat reports. Lower Price Hill nonprofit Community Matters “is partnering with Over-the-Rhine Community Housing (OTRCH) on the project,” called LPH Thrives, according to the article.
