Ohio Homelessness Soars Amid Rent Crisis

Ohio’s homelessness crisis is worsening, with a 3.7% jump from 2024 to 2025 — unlike the national decline — fueled by skyrocketing rents, up 23% since 2021, and rising costs for food and transit. Advocates warn this isn’t just about losing homes but about a broken system that traps people in cycles of instability. They’re pushing lawmakers to act, spotlighting the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which passed the House and heads to the Senate, along with protecting housing funds and strengthening tenant rights — all aimed at breaking the cycle and making housing affordable for everyone.
