OCHA
OTTAWA COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY
The Ottawa County Housing Authority (OCHA) was established in 2005 with its mission being that all Ottawa County residents have access to safe, secure, and affordable housing. Since its inception, the OCHA has partnered with ORSI to accomplish this mission on their behalf. It has been a long-term goal of the OCHA to establish the HUD supported Housing Choice Voucher Program in Ottawa County.

To accomplish this, ORSI partnered with the Sandusky Metropolitan Housing Authority in Sandusky County to allow Ottawa County residents, to have access to their Housing Choice Voucher Program. ORSI serves as an application site for the Housing Choice Voucher Program when the Waiting List is open.
