Make Home Affordable. For Everyone.

AHACO is a nonprofit organization that uses data, research, education, and advocacy to close Central Ohio’s housing gaps.

We are guided by the expertise and experience of our members who compose the spectrum of housing services including homeless advocates, developers, property owners, home-ownership proponents, lenders, and the philanthropic community. And we are lifted up by the public-private partnerships that unlock housing solutions. We do this because housing affordability is the key to unlocking security and prosperity for our people and our region.

Finding Home in the Heart of it All

What if central Ohio refused to accept rising housing costs and instead, cut our housing gap in half? How would our schools benefit? How would our economy grow? How would our health improve? The new “Finding Home in the Heart of it All” report has the answers.

This compelling analysis from the Affordable Housing Alliance of Central Ohio presents a clear dichotomy for our future: act now to close our housing gap and unlock monumental advantages that will benefit ourselves and every generation to come. Or allow run-away housing costs to sacrifice our cherished quality of life. This is a call to action, a testament to our region’s resilience, and a promise of a brighter future for all Central Ohioans. As you read, ask yourself: what you would do to see this future come to life?
