Housing values skyrocket, property taxes increase, and the housing burden intensifies for older homeowners in Franklin County.

Where do we go from here?

Our guests, Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano and Katie White, Executive Director of Age-Friendly Columbus & Franklin County, give us an overview of a report recently released entitled “Older Adults and Property Taxes: Findings and Recommendations in Franklin County”.

In this episode, you will get a greater understanding of these issues:  

• the effect of housing value and tax increases and the financial burden on older adults
• why the research was necessary: greater understanding of the issues, impact, and potential solutions
• the current programs to assist homeowners and whether they address those needs
• recommended changes to current programs and the development of new programs to assist older homeowners

Also, we want to congratulate Katie on her new role as Executive Director at Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging beginning June 1, 2022!

As we mentioned, here is a link to all the resources that were mentioned in the podcast.
