During the session, they’ll also outline practical steps potential homeowners can take to prepare for purchasing a home — all with one goal in mind: 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗡𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀.

The New Philadelphia Housing Plan began when the Tuscarawas County Economic Development Corporation recognized that a lack of adequate housing was limiting business growth and community expansion. What started as a spark has grown into a countywide public/private partnership helping families move toward homeownership through trusted relationships and practical guidance.

A new statewide report shows that nearly half of Ohio renters are paying more than they can realistically afford. When rent takes this much of a paycheck, families are pushed into difficult choices about food, transportation, childcare, and basic stability.
This is why the New Philadelphia Housing Plan matters.
Every time a qualifying family becomes a homeowner, we reduce pressure on the rental market and help create room for families who are still renting. Homeownership gives families long-term stability, and it also helps ease the high rent crunch across our community.

If you are wondering whether homeownership might be possible for you, or if you want to help more families move from rent-burdened to stable, we would love to connect.

When we say every detail in our foundations is intentional, we mean it. These early steps are where long‑term comfort, durability, and efficiency are born — and they’re a big part of what makes a Jumpstart Home different.
Here are a few of the features you spotted (and a couple you might’ve missed):
- Insulation on the stem walls
- A full v***r barrier beneath the slab
- Taped joints to prevent air leaks
- Insulation around the perimeter and across the entire slab
- A full week of curing time before backfilling
- And yes — insulation below the whole slab, not just the edges
These steps go beyond standard practice, even compared to Energy Star and Zero Energy construction. They’re part of our commitment to building homes that stay comfortable, healthy, and efficient for decades.
Thanks for taking a closer look with us.
More behind‑the‑scenes details coming soon.
