CINCINNATI – Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority kicked off the renovation of Marquette Manor in English Woods on Thursday, January 16, 2025. This Re-Imagining of Affordable Housing of the 15-story high-rise continues CMHA’s mission of providing quality, affordable housing for 140 families throughout Hamilton County. Cincinnati City Councilman Scotty Johnson explained, “When we have opportunities like this where we are providing adequate housing where people want to be. That’s what we need to be doing.”
The modernization of 140 units for the families served offers a renewal for these families and presents a significant upgrade to their units in the area where they want to live. Ohio State Senator Catherine Ingram stated, “When we start talking about affordable housing, we want to make sure it’s the kind of dwelling where people want to live. They want to be proud of where they live. We need to make sure we are taking care of people and allow them to live humanely.” CMHA continues to invest in affordable housing throughout the county, which currently amounts to over $250 million. CMHA Board of Commissioner Vice-Chair Ms. Laverne Mitchell declared, “This is an auspicious occasion. Everything CMHA staff does is a miracle. So, I think for the residents of Marquette Manor, you say re-imagine, I don’t think they can even imagine what they’re in for. But it’s something good. So, on behalf of the CMHA Commissioners, I’m glad you’re here and look out because we’re going to do this right!”
CMHA offers affordable housing opportunities for individuals, families, and veterans throughout Hamilton County. The agency continues the vision of utilizing sustainable funding models to preserve and develop housing in partnership with community participants.
