The Franklin County Auditor’s Office will bring together more than 50 housing organizations, financial institutions, government agencies, businesses and social service providers for a free Affordable Housing Resource Fair in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, giving residents direct access to information and assistance related to housing and homeownership.
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Reynoldsburg High School’s Livingston Campus, located at 6699 E. Livingston Ave. Organizers said the fair is intended to connect residents with reliable information and practical resources covering a broad range of housing needs.
More Than 50 Organizations to Offer Housing Resources
More than 50 organizations, businesses, financial institutions, government agencies and social service providers are expected to participate in the fair. Representatives will provide information about affordable and accessible housing, mortgages, homeownership assistance, senior housing and home modification programs.
The event will also connect residents with supportive services designed to help households remain safely housed. By gathering multiple organizations in one location, the Franklin County Auditor’s Office aims to make it easier for residents to identify programs and speak directly with service providers.
The Auditor’s Office holds two Affordable Housing Resource Fairs each year as part of its efforts to connect Franklin County residents with local organizations and practical housing resources.
Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano said housing needs vary significantly among households and that the event is designed to serve residents in different circumstances.
“Safe, stable housing looks different for every household,” Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano said. “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 exploring senior housing options or need accessibility resources such as a ramp or other home modifications, there are resources here for you.”
Fair Designed for Renters, Homeowners and First-Time Buyers
The Affordable Housing Resource Fair is intended for people with a wide range of housing needs, including renters, existing homeowners and residents preparing to purchase their first home.
Prospective homebuyers will be able to obtain information about mortgages and homeownership assistance, while current homeowners can explore programs and services that may help them remain in their homes.
Senior housing will also be represented at the event, providing older residents and their families with an opportunity to learn about housing options and related support services.
Accessibility is another focus of the fair. Residents seeking home modifications, such as ramps or other improvements designed to make a property more accessible, can connect with organizations that provide relevant information and assistance.
Social service organizations will also be available to discuss programs that can support housing stability. These services may be particularly useful for residents trying to navigate multiple housing-related needs or determine which local organizations can provide appropriate assistance.
Free Reynoldsburg Event Open to Residents
The Affordable Housing Resource Fair will be free to attend and will run for four hours at Reynoldsburg High School’s Livingston Campus.
The event is being organized by Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano’s Office with participation from more than 50 organizations representing housing, government, business, financial and social service sectors.
The format is designed to give residents an opportunity to speak directly with participating organizations rather than navigating housing programs and assistance options independently.
For households considering homeownership, searching for affordable rental options, evaluating senior housing or seeking accessibility improvements, the fair will provide a centralized location for gathering information and identifying potential resources.
The event also continues the Franklin County Auditor’s Office’s twice-yearly effort to bring housing organizations and residents together. Organizers are focusing on providing practical information that can address different stages of the housing process, from renting and purchasing a first home to maintaining an existing residence and adapting a property for accessibility needs.
By combining housing, mortgage and social service resources under one roof, the September fair is intended to give Franklin County residents a clearer path toward finding programs and organizations that match their individual housing needs.
