Housing Advisory Committee

The primary objective of the Housing Advisory Committee (HAC) is to identify gaps in services available to the low- to moderate-income (LMI) population in the community as well as to develop and implement strategies to mitigate those gaps. Identified gaps include such needs as emergency, vacant, substandard, affordable, safe, and special needs housing as well as tenant based rental assistance and responsive landlords, and funding for major repairs. Such demand for assistance outstrips available funding. Using the identified gaps as a guide, the HAC will recommend eligible Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) activities to increase service to the LMI households. Members of the HAC include, but are not limited to, the Allen County Commissioners, Allen County Health Department, Allen County Jobs and Family Services, Allen Metropolitan Housing Authority, Lima-Allen County Council on Community Affairs, Lima-Allen Council on Aging, Allen County Board of DD, Lima Area Habitat for Humanity, Realtors' Association, City of Lima as well as financial institutions, local political subdivisions, and neighborhood associations.
