Over the Rhine Community Housing

Property management: otrch owns 236 properties and manages 470 units of affordable Housing in over-the-rhine. Our portfolio is expanding to include the neighborhoods of lower price hill, central business district, and northside. Within this program, we offer several types of Housing: including permanent supportive Housing for people experiencing homelessness, low-income tax-credit Housing, section 8 Housing, senior Housing, and conventional low-income Housing.

Housing development and support: consistent with the mission statement, otrch's Housing development and support program works to ensure that existing, low-wealth residents benefit from our neighborhood revitalization initiatives. Its developments contribute to the local economy through employment opportunities, supporting Community businesses by purchasing materials and supplies locally, and by infusing the income tax base of the neighborhood. Developer fees received from this program are put back into the Community, funding new projects in order to preserve affordability in and around over-the-rhine and the city. the development team is currently working to develop 145 units of affordable Housing.
