Abstract

The Cuyahoga Countywide Housing Study was completed by the Center for Economic Development in the Levin College of Public Affairs and Education at Cleveland State University. The study aims to guide the newly established Office of Housing and Community Development in formulating housing policies and action strategies for Cuyahoga County and its municipalities. The Center for Economic Development utilized housing data and stakeholder interviews to assess the county's housing needs. The study addresses challenges such as mismatched housing stock, an aging population, affordability issues, and programming difficulties. To tackle these disparities, the study identifies key metrics, recommends best practices, and adopts place-based approaches to meet the diverse housing needs of county residents. It emphasizes the importance of influencing local, state, and federal public housing policy.
