First Suburbs = Quality Places

Housing is our industry. As goes housing, so goes our region.

In 2011, the delinquent residential property taxes in FSC communities totaled $48,766,090.

Cuyahoga’s Losses to Adjacent Counties InOutNet Households33,00048,000-15,000 Persons51,00087,000-36,000 Income$1.28 b$2.38 b-$1.1 b 36,000 equals a Westlake – in five years

Of the total number of people living below the poverty line in Cuyahoga County. 31% live in FSC Communities. 57% live in the City of Cleveland. 12% live in the rest of the County.

Key Challenges We Face Vacant & blighted houses Growth of rentals Growth of poverty Erosion of residential tax base Reduced resources

Innovation is the way forward.

To attract and retain residents we have to create vibrant communities. Develop policies that discourage sprawl Infrastructure dollars must be allocated heavily to core communities instead of further encouraging out- migration. Aggressively deal with blight Ensure a strong county land bank Provide tools to help and encourage people to invest in their homes. Invest in foreclosure prevention and home buyer counseling programs. Encourage Innovation Establish a multi- million dollar housing innovation fund. Reproduce programs that are working. Support grass roots initiatives.
