Stay Informed and Stay Protected: Navigating House Help

Connect with housing and property related resources with our community partner, Property Action Team.

Join us for a free community session designed to support property owners and older adults in the City of Columbus. As housing stock remains limited and navigating the housing landscape becomes increasingly complex, this session will provide attendees with essential tools and practical knowledge to protect their homes and access resources effectively. We’ll explore how predatory practices in home buying and repairs often target older adults—helping you recognize these tactics, understand how to avoid them, and safeguard your household and your community. Participants will also gain insight into local city codes, learn how housing violations are identified, and understand what to expect during a property inspection. In addition, this session will highlight key local resources available to address violations, including the OwnerOccupied Initiative—a crucial program offering case management and repair support to residents facing housing-related court challenges.

Whether you’re a longtime homeowner or new to property ownership, this session offers actionable guidance to help you stay informed, empowered, and protected.
