"Housing is foundational to almost all stability in your life," Biehl said. "Maintaining a job, staying physically and mentally healthy because you're in a safe environment, food insecurity or food security—all those things start with stable housing." dispatch.com/story/news/cou…
SCOTUS is being asked to decide if ticketing and arresting unhoused people for trying to survive is cruel and unusual punishment. We think the answer is clearly yes it is! Speak out against criminalizing basic acts of survival! #JohnsonVGrantsPass buff.ly/4b64Cg5
Congratulations to the Chauncey, Ohio for enacting an important ordinance to protect tenants from eviction! ow.ly/3pes50RjYxq
Following the release of the Senate Select Committee on Housing's recommendations to tackle Ohio's housing crisis, lawmakers must keep up the momentum and enact solutions that ensure adequate and affordable housing for Ohioans. ow.ly/n6E650RjWWk
Thanks to @SenReynolds03 & Sen @HearcelCraig for introducing SB245, which would provide much-needed protections for renters in Ohio like establishing an Eviction Defense Fund, a nonbinding mediation process for tenants facing eviction, & a uniform eviction record sealing process.
Making smart investments in childcare at the state level would result in more kids enrolled in quality childcare, allow more parents—especially moms—to join the workforce, & help lift more families out of poverty. ow.ly/jUYv50Rj08i
The Senate Select Committee on Housing said the demand for housing is higher than the supply of homes everywhere in Ohio, keeping mortgages and rental rates high. “We can no longer be casual about this issue,” @SenReynolds03 said. ow.ly/YEyi50RjaXG
Advocates urged lawmakers to prioritize certain items in the report, but cautioned that some recommendations could hamper the state’s ability to respond quickly to Ohio’s affordable housing crisis. cohhio.org/advocates-enco…
In OH, suspending a driver’s license as a tool to collect debt rather than limiting this sanction to unsafe driving hurts both job seekers and employers. It is time to pass #SB37 and put people back on the road to work. ow.ly/U9Hm50RbOg2 @athensmessenger
We were proud to be on hand yesterday for an event marking the 5-year anniversary of the law that reformed predatory payday loans and saved Ohio consumers $300 million in fees and interest. ow.ly/w3b850Ri7c9
An overhaul of the license suspension process—which impacts low-income Ohioans disproportionately—is being heard this week in the OH Senate Judiciary Committee. Thank you @LBlessing308 & @cingram32 for championing #SB37. ow.ly/FXCB50RgnkI
In 2020, there were 63,875 driver’s license suspensions in OH Sen District 30 alone, which includes Athens Co. A stunning 65% of those were debt related. #SB37 would eliminate debt-related suspensions and put Ohioans back on the road to work. ow.ly/gLEk50RbOZM @AthensIndy
OPLC's Zack Eckles on the need to pass #SB37, which would limit driver’s license suspensions to convictions related to dangerous driving & the rein in the government's ability to suspend a license because of failure to pay a fine or fee: ow.ly/UWen50RbOSq @IntelligencerWV
Sondra Bryson of Legal Aid of Southeast and Central Ohio said debt-related license suspensions make up more than 40% of her cases in rural Ohio, and more often than not, they end in filing for bankruptcy. #SB37 could help to stop that cycle. ow.ly/iQYo50RcjII
