The Department of Development's Community Services Division administers the Ohio Housing Trust Fund, which provides funding for a full range of housing activities, including rental assistance, housing counseling, homebuyer assistance, handicapped accessibility modifications, rehabilitation, home repair, and new construction. All programs funded by the Ohio Housing Trust Fund are focused on providing services to low-income Ohioans.
Part of the Ohio Housing Trust Fund budget is an allocation for the Supportive Housing Program for $8,311,480.00. The Supportive Housing Program provides grants to organizations that operate transitional housing projects designed to move homeless persons to permanent housing, and/or long-term permanent supportive housing for homeless persons with disabilities.
