Scioto County has been granted funding through the Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) grant program, as announced by State Rep. Justin Pizzulli (R-Scioto County). The county has been awarded a $750,000 grant to enhance housing conditions and offer homeownership and rental assistance to low- and moderate-income families. In collaboration with the City of Portsmouth, Scioto County aims to rehabilitate seven owner-occupied homes and repair 13 others.
Pizzulli expressed his optimism regarding the impact of this funding, stating, "This funding will help residents of Scioto County achieve their goal of homeownership and provide resources that allow individuals and families to prosper in our communities."
The CHIP program, administered by the Ohio Department of Development, works in partnership with communities to preserve and improve Ohio's housing stock through various housing initiatives.
