In Youngstown, Ohio, a local organization, the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation, has worked tirelessly for more than a decade to improve the quality of life for residents and to rebuild the city’s communities.

For about a year, the Greater Ohio Policy Center, which was contracted by Eastgate, has been working on a housing study of Mahoning and Trumbull counties.

Since it started in 2012, Giving Tuesday has been celebrated every year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the U.S. and around the world.

The Mahoning County Land Bank received a $5 million state grant that will go toward the construction of 19 new affordable houses: 16 in Youngstown and one each in Struthers, Campbell and Sebring.

YNDC was awarded $2.54 million dollars from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati's Affordable Housing Program for home repairs, new builds and down payment assistance.
