Tuesday, September 14, 5-6pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Columbus faces a serious challenge with developing affordable housing and providing rent subsidies to people with very low income. Most of the affordable housing in development now doesn’t work for people with very low income. The Columbus Coalition for the Homeless is proposing a 3% set-aside of new housing units for people who experience homelessness for any project that receives tax abatement. What other ideas do you have to share about how to develop and sustain affordable housing?

The candidates will be asked these three questions.

1. What do you think about the proposed 3% set-aside in affordable housing for people who are homeless?

2. What other ideas would help us develop more affordable housing for people with income less than 50% of AMI [Area Median Income]?

3.If you are elected, what are your goals for the City of Columbus? Any specific initiatives you’d like to share?

We’ll then open up the floor for discussion with audience members about ideas to make affordable housing available.

Please join us for a virtual event about affordable housing for people with very low income, especially those who are homeless.
