Councilmember Chris Robinson says the specifics of the Summit County Housing Authority’s strategic plan look good, but he wonders if the county is serious about implementing them.
The council set the goal of approving 1,500 affordable housing units by the end of 2036 last year.
So Summit County hasn’t chipped away at its goal.
Councilmember Canice Harte said he thinks of the housing authority’s strategic plan as a “toolkit” rather than a commitment.
He reiterated longstanding concerns about out-of-control growth and whether Summit County will be forced to stomach additional market-rate homes to subsidize affordable housing development.
