The Youngstown Housing Task Force wants a company that owns over 300 houses in the city to sign a community agreement with them, committing to making repairs and meeting other benchmarks set by members of the task force, but a representative of the company said the task force set an unreasonable timeline for a response.

Youngstown's Board of Control has awarded Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. (YNDC) with funding to build new homes in the city.

Liam Hetzel grew up with parents who felt strongly about people’s obligation to vote in all elections, so in a little more than three months, he will be blackening lots of ovals.

Ian Beniston credits the origins of the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. (YNDC) to a specific exchange between a resident and the Wean Foundation.

The city’s board of control is expected to vote today on $5.3 million worth of American Rescue Plan programs with the largest being $5 million to help people buy and maintain homes in Youngstown.
