Lima starting renter-to-owner transition program

LIMA — The City of Lima is participating in the “Make it Home” National Replication Initiative, which can help allow renters to transition into home ownership. The program was successful in the City of Detroit and the Center of Community Progress launched this initiative to see if the program could be implemented in other communities. According to the press release, this program will begin in the fall of 2022.

According to Susan Crotty, Department of Housing and Neighborhoods Director, “the program would help a tenant become a homeowner in the case the property (they are renting) is being foreclosed on.” Participants in the program would need complete four weekly sessions on the occupant-to-owner program.
