CareSource, a Dayton-based health insurer, and Huntington Bank were awarded $6.9 million dollars in affordable housing program grants from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati’s Affordable Housing Program.
The grant dollars will go toward renovation and construction costs for existing properties, as well as will fund emergency home repair and homeowner assistance programs throughout the state of Ohio.
“CareSource believes that access to affordable housing significantly improves health outcomes, positively impacting individual lives and families, as well as the broader community,” said Maura Klein, state housing strategy lead at CareSource Ohio.
Projects like Unison Health’s Whitney Manor, a permanent supportive housing project in Toledo, and Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation’s home buyers assistance program, located throughout 14 Appalachian counties, will benefit from these grants.
