Northeast Ohio Coalition for Homeless

Since 1988, we have sought to break the cycle of homelessness in Northeast Ohio. We organize and empower homeless and at-risk men, women, and children through public education, advocacy, and the creation of nurturing environments. We seek to be responsive to the needs of unhoused people in Northeast Ohio by affirming their dignity. Our main programs seek to amplify the voice of those experiencing homelessness through advocacy, outreach and education. We do this through our Homeless Congress, a monthly meeting for people experiencing homelessness; coordinating the Cuyahoga Affordable Housing Alliance, a monthly meeting with housing leaders to promote affordable housing policies; publishing the Street Chronicle, a newspaper written and distributed by individuals experiencing homelessness; and the Outreach Collaborative where we coordinate homeless outreach workers to help the homeless access resources.
