Capital Funding to End Homelessness Initiative The Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) in collaboration with the Ohio Development Services Agency (ODSA) is pleased to provide a one-time capital funding boost of $32 million to the local Continuum of Care to assist with their strategies to end homelessness in Ohio. This funding boost is in addition to the programming that the OHFA already provides annually to finance permanent supportive housing. The eight urban Continuum of Care designated by HUD are eligible to apply for funding. Organizations located in the Balance of State areas are also eligible to apply for this initiative; however, all proposals must be approved by the Balance of State Continuum of Care prior to submission to OHFA. Please refer to the guidelines for available funds by area. Funds can be used for the capital costs to construct new or renovate and/or repair permanent supportive housing; transitional housing facilities that either serve homeless youth, victims of domestic violence, or persons re-entering a community from an institution or in recovery from substance abuse or comply with a national best practice and / or a research supported design; or emergency shelters that comply with state shelter standards, a national best practice and / or a research supported design.
