Cuyahoga County is proposing a novel – but narrowly tailored – program to prevent elderly homeowners from slipping into foreclosure.The program would offer up to $10,000 to people who are behind on their property-tax payments, at least 70 years old and living on $70,000 or less a year.It’s an attempt to test the market – to see how deep the need is and whether grants, along with housing counseling, can keep struggling seniors in their homes.
“So we encourage everybody to contact their legislators.”CHN Housing Partners, a nonprofit devoted to housing affordability and stability, will run the county’s program. CHN provided similar aid to a broader group of Cuyahoga County homeowners during the pandemic, using federal pandemic relief money.That CHN program pumped out $5.3 million to cover current and overdue taxes, pay foreclosure fees and court costs and wipe out tax liens.
