Affordable Housing Advocacy

At our core, we are advocates for families that need a decent place to call home. This is why we are always looking for opportunities to positively impact affordable housing issues in Preble County. In 2012, we collaborated with the Preble County Community Action Partnership and Preble Metropolitan Housing Authority to develop a Consolidated Plan that was adopted by the Preble County Commissioners in February 2013. This detailed plan is updated annually and provides a roadmap for the County to follow as it addresses critical factors that affect our communities’ quality of life such as homelessness, affordable housing, and economic development.

“Thank you so much for your support and all the hard work you do. The stress and worry that has been lifted from my shoulders is tremendous.”— M.H. (Eaton)

Mission: Everyone in Preble County should have a decent place to live.
Vision: Through 2018 we will provide the leadership to complete the affordable housing goals of the Preble County Consolidated Plan.
