                                       AIA Ohio advocates for access to affordable workforce housing as a
                                       fundamental right. Architects are at the forefront of the challenges inherent
                                       to providing safe, healthy and sustainable housing to all. Our association
                                       supports HB3 because it would help fulfill essential unmet needs that are
                                       reflected in Ohio’s workforce housing crisis. Ohio currently has a shortfall of
                                       over 270,000 affordable housing units. The need for affordable workforce
                                       housing is growing throughout the state.

                                       As we are all aware, there is a shortage of a capable workforce in Ohio, and
                                       the profession of Architecture is no exception. We largely draw on new talent
                                       from the five Universities in Ohio that are accredited to provide a
                                       professional degree in architecture. We need to retain this talent that is in
                                       Ohio and we also need to attract new talent to Ohio. One of major factors
                                       when young professionals and young families are deciding where they will
                                       reside is the cost of living or affordability.

                                       Ohio’s architects ask that you pass House Bill 3 to begin to address the need
                                       for housing that is priced right for the hardworking citizens of Ohio.

                                       Thank you for your time and consideration. I would be happy to address any
                                       questions.
