Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati recently broke ground on a new residential development in Over-the-Rhine.

Nearly half of Ohio renters pay more than they can afford for housing.

And for those who want to buy a house, finding a starter home for sale in Greater Cincinnati can be a challenge.

To help address the need for more affordable home ownership, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati is moving beyond building one house at a time to larger scale development and new production methods to complete more homes at a faster pace.

On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss the new strategy, concerns raised by a local neighborhood and the potential impact of the new approach.

Guests:

  • Joe Hansbauer, president and CEO, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati
  • Cincinnati City Councilmember Evan Nolan
