A Letter from the President and CEO

Dear Partners,

2023 was another year of accomplishments and transition, not only at Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing, but throughout our industry. When I reflect on the year, I have a keen appreciation for the agility both our internal teams and external partners were able to demonstrate. This ability to welcome new ideas while evolving with the landscape of our industry has allowed us to continue our mission of advancing the preservation, production, and management of affordable housing.

Highlights of the year include:
• We raised $263M in investor capital and invested $260.8M in 26 developments.

• Our lending affiliate, Ohio Capital Finance Corporation (OCFC) closed over $116M in loans and closed $50M in the Linden Healthy Homes Fund II.

• Our property management affiliate, CPO, deployed over $69,000 in resident emergency funds, linked 408 residents with the resources needed to stabilize their housing, while managing a portfolio of over 1,000 rental units.

• In partnership with our impact investors, Ohio Community Impact Corporation (OCIC), enabled over 900 youths to attend summer camps and awarded over $65,000 in scholarships funds via the Jerry Grier Scholarship Program.

• We made great strides around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) including a $50,000 grant to the Corporation for Supportive Housing for BIPOC Developer Barrier research and development, a $30,000 grant to the Affordable Housing Alliance of Central Ohio for their BIPOC Homeownership Assistance Fund, a $5,000 grant to the Ohio Women's Affordable Housing Network for their Scholarship Fund for Professional Development, and a $50,000 grant to Fifth Third Bank CDC for their Black Developer Initiative in Cincinnati.

• We welcomed two new members to the leadership team, Mary Ann Lang, EVP of Capital Markets, and Jeff Beam, EVP of Development. Together, Mary Ann and Jeff represent decades of affordable housing experience and have already made tremendous progress in building our investor and development pipelines.

• Our training platform, the Affordable Housing Training Academy (AHTA), now offers 280+ courses representing over 210 hours of training content.

These accomplishments would not be possible without the dedication of our staff, trust from our development and investment partners, and support from public housing authorities, and local, state, and federal government legislators.

Thank you to the OCCH team for their contributions throughout the year, our Board of Directors for their expertise and guidance, and our investors and developers for their trust and partnership. I look forward to another successful year of continuing the vital work of ensuring housing is accessible to all.

In partnership,

Catherine Cawthon
President & CEO
