Ten residential development projects will receive a total of about $4.4 million in city funds through the
Notice of Funding Availability program. The program was designed to help the city achieve
PLAN Cincinnati’s goal of having a variety of quality housing options for people of all income levels and stages of life.
Each phase of funding will target a different set of neighborhoods. This round of funding includes projects in four targeted neighborhoods: College Hill, Madisonville, Northside and Walnut Hills, as well as projects in Camp Washington, Over-the-Rhine, Roselawn and South Cumminsville.
The money comes from a two-year surge in gap funding, and will help developers, individuals, partnerships, for-profit and nonprofit entities complete the rehabilitation of housing units in Cincinnati neighborhoods.
City funding is being exceeded by a ratio of 12:1 by funds from developers and other stakeholders, for a total of about $57 million in investment in the eight neighborhoods.
Projects that received NOFA funds in this round are:
- Camp Washington Works — the rehabilitation of four single-family, affordable units in the heart of Camp Washington.
