Community Housing Impact and Preservation Program (CHIP)

How it works

The City of Elyria’s resources page says the Community Housing Impact and Preservation Program (CHIP) provides grants to eligible communities interested in undertaking housing-related activities. The grants are awarded competitively and encourage a flexible, community-wide approach to improving and providing affordable housing for low- and moderate-income persons.

The page also says CHIP funds are provided to eligible communities through the Ohio Development Services Agency (ODSA), Office of Community Development (OCD). Current CHIP projects can be viewed in the Office of Community Development.
