Councilmember Shayla Favor, Chair of the Housing, Homelessness, and Building Committee, will hold a virtual hearing on Tuesday, July 2nd at 12:30pm and an in-person hearing on Wednesday, July 10th at 5pm at Columbus City Hall to share with the community regarding the upcoming legislation for the Vacant and Foreclosure registry; Relocation Policy Code Change; and provide an update on the Housing For All Legislative Package.
The hearing is an opportunity for residents to provide input about the legislation and learn more about each legislative piece.
A Vacant and Foreclosure registry would give the ability to have up-to-date contact information for the owners of foreclosed or vacant properties and legally hold property owners responsible for leaving abandoned properties in disrepair.
The Relocation Policy Code Change would amend Columbus City Code Chapter 4509 to address relocation services for emergency vacated tenants due to landlord negligence.
