Ohio Grants Fuel Workforce Housing | Dayton News

Ohio’s workforce housing crisis just got a major boost—$14 million in new grants is hitting ten counties to help workers live near the jobs being created. Governor DeWine and Lt. Gov. Tressel say this second wave of the REDD program isn’t just about bricks and mortar, it’s about building communities where people can thrive. With fifteen million dollars total this year—and way more applications than funds available—it’s clear the need is urgent. Take Greene County’s Xenia: $1 million for infrastructure and planning to build nearly 300 new homes, directly supporting big employers like Gabriel Brothers and the Air Force. Designed by lawmakers to turn state dollars into real housing and attract private investment, this program is turning growth into opportunity—one neighborhood at a time.
