$4M Investment to Increase Affordable Housing Options in Ohio for Adults with Developmental Disabilities

Hamilton County Board of Commissioners, Living Arrangements for the Developmentally Disabled and the Cincinnati Development Fund announced a $4 million investment by Hamilton County, Ohio to increase affordable housing options for adults with developmental disabilities.

The partnership will provide the funds for LADD to open nine new Smart Homes in Colerain Township, Springfield Township and Hyde Park in Ohio starting in 2027.

First launched in 2020, LADD’s Smart Living Home model consists of clusters of three or more homes located within a five-minute drive of each other in walkable neighborhoods and close to bus stops that lead to places where people can shop and work. Each smart home within a cluster features technology paired with in-person LADD staff to support residents’ independence. LADD operates Smart Home clusters in Blue Ash and Anderson Township.

Once work is completed on its recently acquired properties, LADD will offer the same level of support, service and independence to an additional 36 adults with developmental disabilities in Hamilton County.
