Rep. Grim Announces Over $2.7M to Support Housing Growth in Lucas County

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Michele Grim (D-Toledo) today announced that the Historic South Initiative and The Lucas County Land Reutilization Corporation have each received a total of $2,719,274 from the Ohio Department of Development’s Welcome Home Ohio Program to rehabilitate historic local homes.

“The Welcome Home program and distribution of funds to Lucas County is a great tool in ensuring that, as our community grows, there are affordable housing options available for all individuals. I will continue to advocate and fight for funding at the state level that makes programs like this possible,” said Rep. Grim.

This funding will empower local land banks to purchase homes that were already in need of remodeling and ensure that income-eligible residents only can access the housing.
