Through their home repair initiative, the agency will
provide 48 area homeowners age 60 or older who live at or
below 50 percent of the region’s median income with home
repairs necessary to maintain their safety, health, or home
accessibility.
“Many older Ohioans strive to stay active in their own
homes, surrounded by family and friends, to preserve their
personal independence,” said Ashford. “By making critical
home repairs, we can ensure that aging Toledo residents are
able to maintain their lifestyles in a safe and accessible
environment and preserve their quality of life for years to
come.”
The funding is part of a larger state initiative awarding
$5.68 million in 64 Ohio counties aimed at reducing
homelessness rates and keeping Ohioans in their homes.
Twenty-six nonprofit organizations focused on housing
assistance will receive the funds. |
