Across Ohio, people with very low incomes “face a crisis in the availability of decent, safe,affordable housing,” because there is not enough units to meet the demand, particularlyfor people with low incomes who require subsidies to help pay for housing. Currently allPublic Housing Authorities (PHA) maintain waiting lists for very low income households.The Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority Housing (CMHA) Choice Voucher waiting listcurrently has over 12,000 people waiting to receive a Housing Choice Voucher. In addition,they have over 1,800 people who are on their Public Housing waiting list. Due to thesubstantial waiting list it will be impossible for CMHA to met the needs of is consumers. Thisexample is the trend across the entire state of Ohio. The need for housing assistance in Ohiois great and we do not have the federal assistance to provide the households with rentalassistance.Cost to Rent unaffordable to low income populationAccording to the Ribbon Demographic, the average cost to rent a one-bedroom apartmentin Ohio costs $507 dollars and the studio/efficiency unit rent at $450 per month. Yet, ahousehold at 30 percent Area Median Income could only afford $445 dollars a month forrent. At this time this household is unable to afford a studio or one-bedroom apartment onthis income. The yearly income for a person at 30 percent AMI is $16,460. To afford a studioapartment, a person must have an annual income of $17,984. To afford a one-bedroomapartment, a person must have an annual income of $20,286.The extremely low income population (people who fall at or below 18 percent AMI) whoare the most vulnerable to losing their home without rental assistance. They receivegovernment assistance (Social Security Income, Medicaid, food stamps, etc.) to assist them,yet even with all of these types of assistance, they are unable to live sufficiently on a smallincome. This forces them to look for rental assistance that is not available to them.Best Practices, Policies and Programs (local, state, or national)Illinois Housing Development Authority• The Illinois Rental Housing Support program is the nation’s largest state rentalassistance program. The RHS program will provide rent subsidies for an estimated4,000 “rent burdened” households making ends meet on extremely low incomes.• The program is designed to utilize Local Administering Agencies (LAAs) that will managethe program locally in their area. Potential LAAs will apply for funding , and will contractdirectly with landlords to provide units for the program. LAAs will also work with thelandlords in providing outreach to potential tenants.• These potential tenants wanting to rent the program units will need to apply with thelandlord. The RHS Program is unit based, so the subsidy stays with the unit, not thetenant.Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency• Within the PHFA Qualified Allocation, it includes a threshold of, “Affordability ofAccessible Units”. In this threshold PHFA requires that accessible units in thedevelopment will be affordable to persons at or below 20 percent of the Area MedianIncome (AMI), adjusted for family size. The development must evidence a viable plan tocharge rents at levels affordable to persons at or below 20 percent AMI throughout thecompliance period. This extremely low rent structure must be supportable for at leastthe federally mandated accessible units and any other accessible units receiving extraranking points.83
