If you are moving to Columbus, local moving companies are thrilled at the recent announcement that the State of Ohio has approved $3 million in funding in order to create more affordable housing in central Ohio.

According to reports by Columbus Business First, workforce housing and senior apartments are to be constructed and funded by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency. However, it does not stop there – the agency’s board actually approved over $12.3 million for affordable housing initiatives throughout the state, which leaves Columbus moving companies hopeful for a boom in business.

$1.5 million will go towards Career Gateway Homes in Columbus. The construction will create 58 one-, two- and three-bedroom family units in four three-story buildings. The absolute best part of the state funding affordable housing initiatives is that it will create affordable housing for the working class in Columbus who are earning below 60 percent of the city’s median household income.

Columbus residential movers, as well as hundreds of locals, are thrilled to hear that the city and state are making great strides in helping young families and entry-level professionals who cannot yet afford average housing costs.

The other $1.5 million will go towards Georgetown Senior Apartments in Delaware for 50 new units for senior residents.

If you are moving to Columbus and are a young, hard-working professional or a senior citizen, be sure to check out the new construction once they are completed – All My Sons Moving & Storage of Columbus would be happy to assist your move!
