COLUMBUS, Ohio — Carlie Boos, Exec. Dir., Affordable Housing Alliance of Ohio, talks about how affordable housing stabilizes families, strengthens the economy and how housing is the nexus of everything we do in Ohio. Carlie said 54,000 Franklin County residents pay more than half of what they make for housing costs.

"If you are paying more than half of your income for housing, you're making life and death decisions every day," Boos said.
