Ohio Housing Finance Agency releases report on housing in Ohio's Appalachian counties
The Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) recently released a report on the need for affordable housing in Ohio's 32 Appalachian counties. According to OHFA, the study was completed to "provide a comprehensive housing needs assessment (or “Affordable Housing Market Study,” per the Ohio CDC Association) that focuses on the current and anticipated affordable housing need," in Appalachia. Due to a lack of modern housing built over the last several decades, the region is in desperate need for various housing types. The study also includes a section to help community development corporations focus on those areas with the greatest need and the best demographic support for certain types of housing.
