Springfield organization helps make homeownership possible
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — It's National Homeownership Month, and one local organization is helping turn people's dreams into reality. On Monday, the Neighborhood Housing Partnership of Greater Springfield celebrated seven new home builds along Clifton Avenue. The NHP has been in Springfield since 2002, but it's because of assistance from area agencies that the programs they offer continue to thrive. 'We care about people and getting them into home ownership or whatever their goals are,' said Kerri Brammer, NHP Home Ownership Center manager. Lining the block of a neighborhood across the street from John Legend Theatre, dreams are coming true for seven Springfield families. 'It's very exciting. It's taken us a while,' said Brammer. 'It takes a lot of funding, a lot of partnerships to get this far.' None of this work would be possible without the city of Springfield helping set the foundation, alongside a property group building these houses from scratch. 'One of the great things about homeownership is that it helps move people out of the poverty cycle and into building wealth,' said Rachel Goff, NHP executive director. The NHP of Greater Springfield is breaking down barriers one house at a time, paving the way for people considered a part of the low-income population. A realtor and board member with NHP says while the process can be tough, it's worth it — especially if it's your first time buying a home. 'The feeling is very exhilarating only because, you know, sometimes people get defeated, they want to give up, they don't want to keep pushing forward,' said Tyler Hicks, NHP board of directors member. 'But at the same time, there's still that glimmer of hope.' Torrance Johnson is just one example of someone who used the resources offered by NHP to purchase his first home. 'You got that desire to get a house, they could actually get you into a house,' said Torrance Johnson, homeowner through NHP. 'Because they got programs to actually help you out, to actually obtain that home within a beautiful budget.' Johnson says he's grateful to have a brand new house, and hopes to see more neighbors move in soon. 'I hope they appreciate it as much as I appreciate mine,' said Johnson. After starting new builds on Clifton Avenue in 2008, the NHP has grown its portfolio to nearly 20 houses on that block alone. If you're interested in buying, NHP says the best thing to do is get the process started now. To learn more about NHP of Greater Springfield's resources, visit their website.

Shoppers are wary of digital shelf labels, but a study found they don't lead to price surges
Social media is filled with warnings that grocers will use the technology to charge more for ice cream if it's hot outside, hike the price of umbrellas if it's raining or to gather information about customers. Advertisement Democratic US Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania fired off a letter to Kroger last fall demanding to know whether it would use its electronic labels as part of a dynamic pricing strategy. Lawmakers in Rhode Island and Maine have introduced bills to limit the use of digital labels. In Arizona, Democratic state Representative Cesar Aguilar recently introduced a bill that would ban them altogether. A study published in late May found 'virtually no surge pricing' before or after electronic shelf labels were adopted. The study was authored by Ioannis Stamatopoulos of the University of Texas, Austin, Robert Evan Sanders of the University of California, San Diego and Robert Bray of Northwestern University The researchers looked at prices between 2019 and 2024 at an unnamed grocery chain that began using digital labels in October 2022. They found that temporary price increases affected 0.005 percent of products on any given day before electronic shelf labels were introduced, a share that increased by only 0.0006 percentage points after digital labels were installed. Advertisement The study also determined that discounts were slightly more common after digital labels were introduced. Economists have long wondered why grocery prices don't change more often, according to Stamatopoulos. If bananas are about to expire, for example, it makes sense to lower the price on them. He said the cost of having workers change prices by hand could be one issue. But there's another reason: Shoppers watch grocery prices closely, and stores don't want to risk angering them. 'Selling groceries is not selling a couch. It's not a one-time transaction and you will never see them again,' Stamatopoulos said. 'You want them coming to the store every week.' Electronic price labels aren't new. They've been in use for more than a decade at groceries in Europe and some US retailers, like Kohl's. But they've been slow to migrate to US grocery stores. Only around 5 percent to 10 percent of US supermarkets now have electronic labels, compared to 80 percent in Europe, said Amanda Oren, vice president of industry strategy for North American grocery at Relex Solutions, a technology company that helps retailers forecast demand. Oren said cost is one issue that has slowed the US rollout. The tiny screens cost between $5 and $20, Oren said, but every product a store sells needs one, and the average supermarket has 100,000 or more individual products. Advertisement Still, the US industry is charging ahead. Walmart, the nation's largest grocer and retailer, hopes to have digital price labels at 2,300 US stores by 2026. Kroger is expanding the use of digital labels this year after testing them at 20 stores. Whole Foods is testing the labels in nearly 50 stores. Companies say electronic price labels have tremendous advantages. Walmart says it used to take employees two days to change paper price labels on the 120,000 items it has in a typical store. With digital tags, it takes a few minutes. The labels can also be useful. Some have codes shoppers can scan to see recipes or nutrition information. Instacart has a system in thousands of US stores, including Aldi and Schnucks, that flashes a light on the digital tag when Instacart shoppers are nearby to help them find products. Ahold Delhaize's Albert Heijn supermarket chain in the Netherlands and Belgium has been testing an artificial intelligence-enabled tool since 2022 that marks down prices on its digital labels every 15 minutes for products nearing expiration. The system has reduced more than 250 tons of food waste annually, the company said. But Warren and Casey are skeptical. In their letter to Kroger, the US senators noted a partnership with Microsoft that planned to put cameras in grocery aisles and offer personalized deals to shoppers depending on their gender and age. In its response, Kroger said the prices shown on its digital labels were not connected to any sort of facial recognition technology. It also denied surging prices during periods of peak demand. 'Kroger's business model is built on a foundation of lowering prices to attract more customers,' the company said. Advertisement
