Fostoria officials learned more about efforts to help low-income homeowners during Tuesday’s city council meeting. The Review-Times reports an administrator with the WSOS Community Action Commission said the organization had helped with three homes in the city. One project included rehabbing a house with a high level of lead, which caused a child living there to suffer from lead poisoning.

WSOS housing coordinator Tiffaney Shaver says a $1.2 million state grant is helping pay for the work. Fostoria partners with Seneca County and the city of Tiffin to take part in the two-year program two help improve low-income housing.
