Start Right affordable infill housing (Caledonia neighborhood)

Cleveland Heights

Description

Start Right has completed one 1,500-square-foot ranch, has foundations dug at 833 Neilview with BZA approvals for two homes, targets homes at or below $250,000 with Cuyahoga County Land Bank gap support up to $35,000, and is seeking more city lots and fixes to reverter clauses that blocked financing.

Impact summary

Affordable new homes in the Caledonia neighborhood — but the East Cleveland school district and zoning minimums make each build slow and grant-dependent.
