Linden Rental Homes

Healthy Homes expanded programming to Linden in 2019. In 2021, Healthy Homes, the Ohio Capital Corporations for Housing and CareSource created the Linden Healthy Homes Fund to fund the development of 50 rental units over the next 4 years (2021-2024). Healthy Homes rental homes are available to households at or below 80 percent of area median income (AMI). 

Looking for rental housing?

Healthy Homes has received an overwhelming amount of interest in our rental housing. In late January the housing waiting list was closed to allow time for staff to work through current applicants. As new units are finished in late Spring/early Summer this year, Healthy Homes will begin accepting rental applications again. Please check back here or follow us on Facebook for updates on when and how to apply for upcoming units.

Application Process

All rental units are made available to households at or below 80% of AMI (Area Median Income).
