Helping ensure safe & affordable housing for all in the face of an eviction crisis, @CityofDayton approves legislation to limit the late fees that landlords can charge renters—a recommendation made by the Mayor’s Eviction Task Force. #GOPCThread https://bit.ly/3dRpqe3
In Medina Co., residents can receive Fix-It Funds, low interest home improvement loans. Due to COVID-19, the long-standing program extends the repayment period from 12-18 mos., making it easier for residents to invest in their neighborhoods. #GOPCThread https://bit.ly/30qM1du
. @Chardon_Ohio City Council established vacant residential property registration requirements. This registry will be an important neighborhood stabilization tool as the econ. fallout of the pandemic starts to be felt by real estate investors. #GOPCThread https://bit.ly/2B0cbZG
In Akron, @AkronOhioMayor, @EANDC330 & @CommLegalAid are helping prevent as many evictions as possible, by assisting tenants with landlord negotiations, working out payment plans, & connecting them with rental assistance programs. #GOPCThread https://bit.ly/2Yp3aBJ

When NE Franklin Co. residents were impacted by suspended bus lines, @COTABus started a micro-transit service—a free, 7 days/week, on-demand pilot project to serve the bus riders impacted by service disruptions & COVID-19. #GOPCThread #SustainingCommunity https://bit.ly/3egzu01
Since COVID, @ColsFoundation stepped up—giving about $4.6M in emergency funding to nearly 120 Franklin Co. nonprofits. On June 10-11, the Foundation went forward with the previously scheduled #TheBigGive, which raised more $ than prior years. #GOPCThread https://bit.ly/3gdiXvk
Faced with meeting housing stock demands, #ChampaignCounty took necessary first steps pre-pandemic: analyzed current conditions & collected resident feedback. Community members are ready to roll up their sleeves to begin implementation soon. #GOPCThread https://bit.ly/2zjPCic
When Appalachian leaders worried their region may be undercounted in the #2020Census, Mayors Partnership for Progress @ohiou & SE Ohio Public Energy Council raised $44K to spread the word & promote an effort called Appalachian Ohio Counts #GOPCThread https://bit.ly/3dSPYvl
If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it is that the only way we can keep #SustainingCommunity is if we come together. #OhioStrong #GOPCThread
