Thank you to @GovMikeDeWine and the @OhioDevelopment for supporting Greater Cleveland Habitat and 10 other Habitat affiliates with Welcome Home Ohio Funding! This was the first year Habitat’s were eligible to apply directly for this funding, and affiliates in both urban and rural communities embraced the opportunity to apply for much-needed support for homeownership opportunities.

In Greater Cleveland, we look forward to receiving $1.4 million to support homes in our 400-Home Initiative. Additionally, we were proud partners in the @Lorain County Land Reutilization Corporation’s application, which will receive $902,000.

Thanks as always to Governor DeWine, the Ohio State Legislature, and the Dept. of Development for their incredible partnership!
