Greater Cleveland RTA Rapid transit

Section 8 apartments near the RTA Red Line

The RTA Red Line is Cleveland's only heavy-rail rapid transit line, running from Cleveland Hopkins Airport (Riverside/Hopkins/West Side) east through Tower City in downtown to Windermere Station in East Cleveland. It's the primary rail spine of the metro.

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.
