Housing Action Plan Goals
The Action Plan outlines coordinated actions organized around three goals.
Franklin County renters are experiencing increasing housing instability as rents rise and affordable options remain limited. In parallel, the condition of existing housing is deteriorating, particularly in older units. Together, these challenges pose a threat to the quality of life, especially for low- and moderate-income residents who rely on older homes that are often naturally affordable. To prevent the affordability crisis from worsening, the County must prioritize preserving and maintaining its existing affordable housing. Goal 1 outlines approaches that strengthen accountability, enforcement and service delivery to ensure that all residents have access to stable, safe and quality housing.
