City expands home-repair program and pilots rental repairs to reach over 450 homes
Summary
Sustainability manager Meg Mahoney said settlement funds from AES and CenterPoint will fund a Dayton Home Repair Network to serve more than 450 homes over two years and a 10-household rental pilot to address repairs for renters and test landlord-tenant mediation and protections.
Meg Mahoney, the city's sustainability manager, told commissioners the Dayton Home Repair Network will use settlement funds from AES and CenterPoint to provide weatherization, energy-efficiency and health-and-safety upgrades. "We have over 900 households on that list," Mahoney said, and the current award packages will reach more than 450 homes in the next two years through partners including Rebuild, Habitat for Humanity and County Corps.
Mahoney also described a newly launched rental pilot funded with philanthropic support that will work with landlords and tenants on mediation and repairs for ten households. The pilot aims to test approaches that protect tenants from rent increases after upgrades and improve contracting pathways for minor landlords; staff said the pilot is open and information is posted on the Dayton Energy Collaborative website.
