Greater Cleveland RTA Rapid transit

Section 8 apartments near the RTA HealthLine (BRT)

The RTA HealthLine is a Bus Rapid Transit route running Euclid Avenue from Public Square downtown east through University Circle to Louis Stokes Station at Windermere in East Cleveland. It has dedicated lanes for most of its route and is treated as rapid transit — the East Side's primary trunk service.

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.
