Dayton expands home-repair program and launches 10-household rental pilot for energy upgrades
Summary
Sustainability manager Meg Mahoney said the Dayton Home Repair Network won funding from AES Ohio and CenterPoint to support over 450 homes in two years and launched a 10-household rental pilot to extend repairs to renters using philanthropic funds.
Meg Mahoney, Dayton's sustainability manager, briefed commissioners on modifications to the Dayton Home Repair Network. She said the city secured funding from AES Ohio and CenterPoint to back work by home-repair partners including Rebuild, Habitat for Humanity and County Corps, and that the combined grants will reach more than 450 homes in the next two years.
Mahoney also described a newly launched rental pilot funded by philanthropic dollars that will enroll 10 rental households to test processes for landlord–tenant mediation, scope definition and protections so upgrades do not trigger rent increases. "We have over 900 households on that list," Mahoney said of the universal application; the rental pilot aims to learn contracting and protection mechanisms before scaling.
