Webinar: Home Matters to Ohio
Statewide policies to increase and incentivize housing supply in Ohio
Like many states, Ohio is unable to meet the demand for affordable and diverse housing options that are needed throughout the state. This challenge impacts every region of the state.
Join Home Matters to Ohio, a broad coalition of affordable housing advocates, and business and industry leaders, as we present a platform of state policy priorities that are realistic, well-researched, and data driven and intended to help ensure Ohioans have a safe, decent and affordable place to call home.
This webinar will provide a deep dive into several bills that have been introduced as part of the general assembly, how they would operate if passed into law, and where there are opportunities to advocate.
DATE: March 20, 2025
TIME: 9:00 – 10:00 am EST
