Implementer's Toolkit

The Regional Housing Strategy Implementer’s Toolkit provides a menu of actions that decision-makers across Central Ohio can take to implement the RHS vision of “a region where housing acts as a platform for equitable growth.” Over a hundred actions can be explored in an interactive Implementer’s Toolkit, targeting the list to a particular community or housing issue. These actions can also be browsed all in one place in the link to the Implementer’s Toolkit document below.

For more features and an optimal experience, access the toolkit on your PC or laptop.

Case Studies

Best practice case studies from around the country were identified to inform the RHS Implementer’s Toolkit. These examples illustrate how housing policy and funding models, plus innovative partnerships, can be turned into scalable strategies to move the market in Central Ohio.

Appendix I. Local Housing Action Agendas

Appendix II. Stakeholder Engagement Summary

Local Housing Action Agendas will translate Central Ohio’s regional housing vision and recommendations from the RHS into meaningful local action on housing issues across a diverse region. A Local Housing Action Agenda articulates how individual jurisdictions in Central Ohio will act on regional and local housing needs. The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission will lead this process in partnership with local jurisdictions.
