COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — As chief financial and administrative officer for the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, Tom Williamson is naturally involved with the ongoing Broadleigh Lofts development. His role as a veteran, however, makes the project personal.
“The vision for this development is to help ensure that veterans in Franklin County have a safe and stable place to call home — together, we can achieve the goal of no veteran being homeless,” Williamson said.
Broadleigh Lofts is a $26 million project by the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, which said the nearly four-acre vacant site will consist of three three-story buildings. The development is being built in tandem with Woda Cooper Companies.

According to CMHA, the property includes 25 apartments with rental assistance and supportive services exclusively for veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The remaining 59 units are reserved for general households earning less than 80% of Franklin County’s annual income.
