Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority believes affordable housing goes beyond the structure. We provide services that empower our residents to live full and meaningful lives. Through community development and collaborative partnerships, we help people access safe, quality housing where they can live with dignity and thrive.
Housing gets young people in the door. Support helps them stay and succeed. CMHA has partnered with The Buckeye Ranch and Community Properties of Ohio to bring case management and mental health services to residents of Columbus Scholar House for Former Foster Youth, a 30-unit community for students ages 18 to 24 who have aged out of foster care. Our goal is simple: help every resident finish what they started, in college, in their careers, and in the community.
With improvements totaling $80,000 per apartment, the partnership’s plans for the 176-unit family development rank among CMHA’s largest rehabilitation efforts this century; the $52.5 million transaction also ensures rents remain below market rate for the next 30 years
The Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) announced today that Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings – the largest of the three major credit rating agencies – has assigned the agency an A+ long-term issuer credit rating and an A+ rating on its outstanding general revenue bonds.
