Coalition On Homelessness And Housing In Ohio

A select committee released new recommendations that argue housing demand issues in Ohio’s fast-growing urban cores starkly contrast those in rural communities.

On one night in January, Ohio municipalities count the number of Ohioans living in shelters and on the street across the state. Advocates say they expect an increase in homelessness this year.

Among the proposed initiatives was the creation of a rental registry, which would charge landlords a fee that would go toward eviction assistance.

Rural homelessness has seen an increase in the past year. Housing advocates point to fewer resources built for small towns.

It's unclear how many Ohioans might be evicted soon due to the federal moratorium on evictions being lifted.

A federal freeze on most evictions enacted last year is scheduled to expire July 31, after the Biden administration extended the date by a month. The state of Ohio never enacted its own eviction moratorium and is following the federal moratorium.
