Greater Cleveland RTA Bus route
Section 8 apartments near the RTA Route 55 — Clifton
RTA Route 55 runs west from Public Square along Clifton Blvd through Detroit-Shoreway, Edgewater, and northern Lakewood. Serves Lakewood's Gold Coast lakefront corridor.
State law limits local voucher protections
Ohio does not protect Housing Choice Voucher holders from source-of-income discrimination. HB 430 (2022) preempts local ordinances, so a landlord can legally decline a voucher applicant. Voucher tenants remain a good option for landlords who want guaranteed monthly rent — but the choice remains legal to make either way. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (2024) documented widespread SOI discrimination in Cleveland.
