Cuyahoga County Council is considering legislation to create the Cuyahoga County Housing Program, according to a report from Cleveland.com. It would be “a $30 million, six-year effort to stabilize home values, eliminate blight and to encourage renovation and construction of affordable housing.”

The program would implement recommendations from the Countywide Housing Study, prepared in 2016 by County Planning and the Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University. County Council’s Community Development Committee is scheduled to discuss the proposal at its meeting on January 14.
