DAYTON, Ohio — Community leaders, housing advocates, and local residents gathered this week as County Corp hosted the City of Dayton for an open house and ribbon cutting celebrating the completion of four newly constructed homes on North Williams Street and West First Street.
The homes, built using federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, represent a continued investment in neighborhood revitalization and market rate homeownership opportunities in the Wolf Creek neighborhood.
The ribbon cutting event brought together key city officials including Mayor Shenise Turner-Sloss and Commissioner Chris Shaw, along with Steve Naas, President of County Corp, the project’s builder, members of the media, and community supporters.
Four newly constructed single-family homes — two located on North Williams Street at 111 & 115 N. Williams St and two on West First Street at 1240 & 1260 W 1st St — are now listed for sale. The properties are marketed by local real estate professionals Cora, Fred, Shaun Diggs of the Diggs Team, and Kim M. Williams, all with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, who are working collectively to bring qualified buyers into these move-in-ready homes.
“These homes are more than new construction,” said one attendee. “They represent opportunity — for families to build equity, for neighborhoods to grow stronger, and for public funds to be invested back into the community in a meaningful way.”
ARPA funds, allocated to support pandemic recovery efforts, have been strategically utilized by the City of Dayton and County Corp to increase housing supply, stabilize neighborhoods, and expand pathways to homeownership.
The homes feature modern layouts and updated finishes designed to meet the needs of today’s buyers, while also contributing to the broader revitalization efforts underway in the surrounding community.
City leaders emphasized that partnerships between public entities, nonprofit development organizations, and private real estate professionals are essential to addressing housing gaps and increasing access to affordable homeownership.
The open house allowed guests to tour the properties, speak with agents, and learn more about financing options and eligibility requirements. With media coverage and strong community interest, organizers expressed optimism that the homes will soon be under contract.
As Dayton continues to focus on equitable development and community reinvestment, projects like these demonstrate how federal recovery funds can be leveraged to create lasting local impact.
