COLUMBUS, OHIO – Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano’s office will host an Affordable Housing Resource Fair on Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at East High School (1500 E.

The fair will include resources on affordable, accessible, and high-quality housing and services from more than 50 local housing organizations, businesses, government agencies, and social service organizations. Financial institutions will also be on site with information on mortgages and other forms of assistance, and community experts will be available to discuss policy, resources, development, and more.

“Safe, stable housing looks different for every household,” said Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano. “This fair is about making it easier for residents to find clear information and connect with organizations that can help. Whether you rent, own, are buying your first home, are looking at senior housing options, or need accessibility resources like a ramp or home modifications, there are resources here for you.”
