The REALTOR® Alliance of Greater Cincinnati (RAGC) is proud to amplify a tool that is transforming how communities across Ohio—and beyond—plan for the future. HousingOhio.org is a central hub that equips decision-makers, advocates, and local leaders with the data, policy guidance, and storytelling tools they need to support attainable housing and smart growth strategies.
This site isn’t just a collection of reports. It’s a living, interactive platform that helps connect the dots between housing supply, economic development, and community well-being. From local housing profiles and legislative updates to equity-centered frameworks and communications support, HousingOhio.org is the kind of resource that empowers communities to take action—and REALTORS® are proud to be part of bringing it to the table.
From REALTORS® to Communities: A Toolkit That Delivers
“REALTORS® understand that healthy housing markets start with healthy communities,” said Heather Kopf, RAGC’s Advocacy Chair. “This resource aligns directly with our mission to be good partners—not just in real estate transactions, but in local problem-solving. It’s a perfect example of how we show up with real solutions.”
RAGC is actively promoting HousingOhio.org through a series of educational sessions for REALTORS®, community stakeholders, elected officials, and planners. These sessions break down the site’s many tools, such as:
-
Interactive Local Profiles to analyze housing need by city or county
-
Best Practices for land use, zoning, and development
-
Storytelling Kits to help advocates communicate effectively about housing
-
Legislative Tracking to stay on top of policy trends and opportunities
A Regional Commitment to Smart Growth
“Our region is at a turning point,” said Mary Huttlinger, RAGC’s Government Affairs Director. “To stay competitive, we need housing that supports our workforce, revitalizes our neighborhoods, and reflects the realities of modern living. This toolkit provides a roadmap to get there—and we’re committed to helping our communities use it.”
Whether you’re a city official, housing advocate, planner, or just someone who cares about the future of your neighborhood, HousingOhio.org offers meaningful support. And REALTORS® are here to help you put it into action.
