SANDUSKY HOUSING SHORTAGE 

IN NORTHWEST OHIO, ONE OHIO COUNTY IS SHORT ON HOUSING ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY. 
THERE IS A MAJOR HOUSING SHORTAGE ACROSS SANDUSKY COUNTY RIGHT NOW. THAT'S ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY BY THE SANDUSKY COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. SO LOOKING AT HOUSING ACROSS THE COUNTRY FROM JULY THROUGH DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, IT FOUND A NEED FOR NEARLY 1000 HOUSING UNITS, INCLUDING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, RENTALS AND SPECIALIZED SENIOR CARE. NOW THE SHORTAGE IS DRIVEN BY A STRONG JOB GROWTH AND AN AGING HOUSING STOCK. THE STUDY SAYS ABOUT HALF OF WORKERS COMMUTE INTO THE COUNTY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND HOUSING NEARBY.
