The City of Columbus is stepping up its efforts to boost affordable housing. Mayor Andrew Ginther and other city and community leaders announced on Monday a $10 million city investment in a public/private partnership. It s part of the upcoming capital budget.
The money will be used on various city-wide projects including one on Jenkins Street on the city s Southside. Sixty new affordable residential units at Jenkins Street Lofts will be available for rent starting next year.
