The next meeting of the Cuyahoga Affordable Housing Alliance is October 7 at 1:30 and will feature Bill Whitney of
the Cuyahoga Land Bank and Lou Tisler of Neighborhood Housing Services.
Bill will give his regular update on the clean up of the foreclosure
crisis in Cleveland. The land bank is taking down shells of housing so
that the land can be re-developed into parks, farm, or housing. They
are also working with a few community groups on creative solutions to
the protect Cleveland neighborhoods going forward. Recently, they were
granted permission to use some of the foreclosure assistance money to
take down more abandoned properties when the Treasury Department decided
to allow the hardest hit fund to go to demolish housing. This had been
used to save people's homes and now it will be to wipe away abandoned
housing. Someday at CAHA after the foreclosure crisis is over we will
have to discuss if the American dream of homeownership is now dead for
millions of lower income families now that the housing bubble has burst
and we taken down thousands of units of housing.
