YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – A new study released Thursday outlines a series of recommendations for addressing housing issues in the Mahoning Valley.
The plan calls for the development of a housing consortium, an emerging developers training program, coordinated zoning corrections, downpayment assistant programs and the proactive assembly of land.
Those are the regional recommendations that came from the Greater Ohio Policy Center and the Reinvestment Fund.
The report also revealed while there is sufficient housing in Mahoning and Trumbull counties to meet current and future demand, the existing housing stock does not align with the needs of prospective residents.
