top_left_photo.gifThe affordable housing industry is one of the most highly regulated segments in the real estate development marketplace. It shouldn't be so hard to develop, build, and operate multifamily affordable rental housing; but it is.

The Ohio Housing Council (OHC) is Ohio's best bet for staying in touch with all of the industry's important issues, policies, program changes, new regulations, and advances.

 


Who is the Ohio Housing Council?

Tour of Apartments in the Historic Warehouse DistrictOur goal is to help professionals involved in all aspects of the affordable housing industry to increase their participation in public policy debates and steer proposed regulatory requirements that could have a significant impact on the affordable housing industry in Ohio.

How does OHC make an Impact?

Lobbying state and federal regulators, keeping development options open throughout Ohio's communities, linking affordable housing partners, and working collectively to improve Ohio's business climate for affordable multifamily housing ownership, development, and management are all critically important to OHC's mission. Members of the OHC also benefit from one of Ohio's premier lobbying firms, the Governmental Policy Group, in Ohio's legislative processes.

OHC Conferences/Events bring the knowledge and expertise of national professionals to Ohio. Attendees also benefit from the expertise of Ohio's most experienced and talented affordable housing professionals.


OHC Newsletters and email communications from the Executive Director are valuable tools available to OHC members to keep them informed and up-to-date on legislation impacting the affordable housing industry, funding and program administration changes, news, and successes in the industry.

OHC Committees: OHC Member participation is the key to OHC success and the key to improving the environment of Ohio's affordable housing industry. Committees review proposed legislation, plan and/or present at OHC events, coordinate with state affordable housing program administrators, meet with legislators, provide info for OHC's newsletter, and communicate with industry professionals throughout the state on behalf of OHC.
