âWe are a movement:â Issue 3 backers pledge to continue despite resounding defeat Where do Cincinnatiâs affordable-housing advocates go from here? Itâs a question they appear to be asking themselves. Issue 3 fails on ballot By Morgan Parrish and Brian Planalp | May 5, 2021 at 6:23 PM EDT - Updated May 13 at 11:32 AM CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Cincinnati voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected an affordable housing charter amendment, sending the issueâs supporters back to the drawing board on one the cityâs most pressing needs. Issue 3 would have required that city council appropriate $50 million to affordable housing every year. Supporters say it took five years to get the amendment on the ballot. It garnered just 27 percent of the vote.
