Tax credits for the Pearl House in Lancaster, a proposed 36-unit housing complex for recovering substance abusers, will be provided by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency, enabling the project to move forward.

During its meeting today, the agency said it considered arguments brought forth by the project's detractors, but ultimately decided the need for permanent housing for recovering drug addicts was too great to turn the project down.
