FAQs for Sale of Hamilton County Affordable Housing Sale of Properties
- Why is CMHA selling the properties?
- We've looked at this from every angle, and unfortunately, we've had to make the hard decision that we simply do not have the financial resources to correct the amount of repairs that are needed for the properties.
- Why are you not fixing the properties?
- CMHA will continue to repair the properties until they are sold. Ultimately, though, the financial responsibilities required to maintain these properties are more than we can afford at this time. They are being sold “as is” to purchasers.
- Has a buyer been identified for my residence?
- We have received offers on some of the properties. We anticipate that all families may stay in the residences until January 31, 2026. We will continue to update you when we have information on your property.
- Will I be able to rent my apartment/house from the new buyer?
- This may be a possibility. We will communicate with you when a buyer has been identified.
- Could I purchase the property?
- This could be a possibility. If you have the financial ability to purchase, you may submit a request to the realtor.
- Do I need to move right away?
- Not at this time. We are just starting the process, and we wanted to give you the information at the beginning of this process. An expected date of moving would be after January 31, 2026 if you would need to move.
- Will CMHA pay for my relocation expenses?
- Residents who need to move due to a new landlord would be eligible for a one-time $1,200 moving benefit. This would be for moving expenses.
- Will the new buyer know I have a voucher?
- If you are already in the Housing Choice Voucher Program, the new buyer will be aware of this.
- Any current resident affected by the sale of properties, you may attend the Your Rental Connection events that Housing Choice Voucher department holds weekly with potential property owners. These occur every Tuesday 1 p.m.-3 p.m. See the calendar - https://cintimha.com/calendar/
- If you are not a current voucher holder, please complete a form, and a member of the team will contact you. You may scan the form at any library in Hamilton County and email it to ">mary.. You may also return the form by mail to: CMHA – HCV, Attention Mary Kosik, 1635 Western Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45214
