Issue 24 aims to benefit affordable housing in Cincinnati, but not everyone agrees with the tax component coupled with it.
Construction just began this week on 52 units of affordable housing in Northside and just wrapped up on48 units in OTR and 56 units in Hillsboro.
Issue 24's proposed tax increase would generate between $40 million and $50 million in funds that would help finance affordable housing in Cincinnati.
The money comes from American Rescue Plan funds granted to the county earlier this year to finance developments with 'shovel-ready' projects.
