Yellow Springs Emergency Rental Assistance Funds Now Available
June 9, 2020
The Housing Stability Task Force of Yellow Springs recognizes the need for emergency rental assistance after hearing from local renters in a recent online survey. The Yellow Springs Community Foundation is providing $10,000 for rental assistance through the Yellow Springs Credit Union. Villagers wanting to access funds should contact Florence Randolph, the Community Outreach Specialist with the Village of Yellow Springs who will guide residents through the process of accessing funds.
Florence can be reached by calling 937-767-3716 or emailing her at FRandolph@vil.yellowsprings.oh.us Her office hours are typically Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Florence will assist residents with identifying area resources, filling out applications, and connecting residents with emergency rental assistance. Funds will be available in the amount of one month’s rent, with a cap of $1,000. The funds will act as direct assistance and no repayment is required.
The funds are meant to provide a bridge to anticipated federal funds pledged in the first CARES Act, which will eventually become available through Miami Valley County Action Partnership. They are gearing up to offer a series of programs to assist renters and prevent evictions including helping with overdue rent and utilities. While pledged, the funds are not yet in hand. Residents can get in queue for assistance by visiting miamivalleycap.org and submitting an application online.
While there was a moratorium on evictions through May, the Greene County Courts are once again processing evictions. These funds are available to support residents with housing stability with their current rent or assist them in securing alternative housing. We want to assure residents that they are not alone and have the community’s support through these unprecedented times.

Black Lives Matter
Yellow Springs Home, Inc. supports Black Lives Matter. As the nation confronts in unprecedented ways the systemic racism and inequality permeating our culture and institutions, we fully support the protests taking place in villages and cities worldwide. Racial wealth disparities persist in every corner of America, including here at home, and as a community land trust we are focused on the constructive steps that will follow the marching and protests. Housing equity continues to be an issue at the forefront of the struggle for civil rights.
Home, Inc. stands on the shoulders of giants working to address centuries of racist and exclusionary land policy, broken promises, Black Land Loss, and discrimination in mortgage access, wealth creation opportunity, economic self-sufficiency, and access to home ownership. Strengthening community and diversity are inherent to our mission, bylaws, and articles of incorporation. We’ve worked diligently on this mission for nearly a quarter of a century, yet there is still so much to be done.
We are committed to identifying new ways to bring an anti-racist and inclusive racial equity lens to our land stewardship, governance, projects, programs, and outreach. We are committed to expanding strategies to meaningfully support diversity and inclusion and to remove barriers to equality in Yellow Springs beyond the homes that we build.
We welcome your input. Please share with us your ideas and suggestions on how to carry this work further. As the Yellow Springs Village Council recently stated, racial equity will only be achieved only when race is no longer a predictor of life outcomes.
We stand strong and united with our community, and we are committed to a future where housing is a human right, poverty is eradicated, and racial equity is achieved.
