Creative Housing rental properties are designed to meet the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities who choose to live with one or two other individuals and share the costs of the home and support services.
Using public and private funding, Creative Housing acquires properties in the Columbus area that are chosen by tenants and then leased them at below-market rents. Creative Housing works with prospective tenants and their families to give them a choice about whom they live with, the houses and neighborhood they’ll be living in and the renovation required to accommodate their particular circumstances.
Eligibility for Housing: To be eligible to lease a Creative Housing home, an individual must qualify for services from the Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities (FCBDD) and be referred to Creative Housing by that agency. If you have a question about eligibility or the referral process, call FCBDD Case Management at (614-464-2743).

Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities
Since this property was built or renovated using funding from HUD's current Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities program or legacy Section 202 program, residency is usually restricted to households earning 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or less with at least one adult member with a disability. Tenants pay rent based on household income. This rent is usually the highest of the following three amounts: either 30% adjusted monthly income, or 10% unadjusted monthly income, or, if receiving welfare assistance, the housing costs portion of this assistance.
