Issue 3 is a charter amendment that would require the city to devote at least $50 million a year toward affordable housing, with the amount rising each year with inflation. There is no set funding mechanism for the amendment, which is perhaps the largest sticking point for the opposition.
Josh Spring, executive director of the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition and one of the main proponents of the amendment, said he is not at all surprised each of the three political parties is against Issue 3. Housing advocates have been going to those same political parties and elected officials for years asking for help, Spring said, “so it’s not a surprise that the folks we have been going and having those discussions with would continue to not step up to the call.”
