OpenStreetMap leads the driver to a location that is not my house. I’ve had Google Maps and Apple Maps correct this same issue. How do I get it corrected in OpenStreetMaps. For Google and Apple Maps I just sent them a description of the problem and they corrected it. Can I do the same with OpenStreetMap?
No you can’t, but you could add a note to the map.
To get that done, read the beginner guide from LearnOSM or in the wiki.
If you want to take a moment to understand what exactly OpenStreetMap is and that OpenStreetMap does not work like Google Maps or Apple Maps, I recommend that you start by reading the description on Wikipedia.
In the end, you will learn that changes can be made by anyone and how easy it is!

You can and should do the correction yourself, it is easy and you will know it was done right!
Otherwise (as the other posted mentioned) you can add a note to the map with your request. However, you will have to wait until some volunteer decides to work on notes in that area. That could be days or years of wait.
