Clyde joins multi-jurisdiction CHIP partnership to pursue housing rehab funds
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2025-30 to join Sandusky County, Fremont and Bellevue in a joint Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) application for 2025; council members said the program is underused and can aid low- and moderate-income residents.
The Clyde City Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 2025-30 to participate in a multi-jurisdiction Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) partnership with Sandusky County, the City of Fremont and the City of Bellevue.
The resolution authorizes the city manager to enter the CHIP partnership agreement so the jurisdictions can file a combined application to the State of Ohio Department of Development Office of Community Enhancement for program year 2025 CHIP funds. The resolution says the partners wish "to address various housing needs of low and moderate income residents of the county and cities."
Council members described the program as a recurring, useful tool for home rehabilitation and preservation. One councilmember said the city has participated in similar agreements every two years and recalled that several projects were completed under prior rounds; another said the program is "underused" and could be promoted more locally to increase uptake.
The motion to adopt Resolution 2025-30 was moved by Councilman Chris Shea and seconded by Councilman Greg McMaster. Roll call votes recorded "Aye" from Shea, Vice Mayor Scott Black, McMaster, Councilwoman Terry Meek and Mayor McCauley. The resolution was adopted on April 1.
