Please read on to learn more about the Mission and Vision of Strategies to End Homelessness
Our Mission
Since 2007, Strategies to End Homelessness has led a coordinated community effort with the goal of ending homelessness in Greater Cincinnati.
Our Vision
We envision a community in which everyone has a stable home and the resources needed to maintain it.
Strategies to End Homelessness Racial Justice Statement
Black, Indigenous and People of Color experience homelessness at disproportionate rates and have greater difficulty becoming and remaining stably housed due to systemic racial disparities. We recognize that homelessness cannot end while these disparities remain and are committed to dismantling racial systems and building inclusive, equitable ones.
We pledge to focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and promote and encourage diverse voices to ensure all members of our community are heard and have the opportunity to succeed.
What We Do
We work in partnership with 30 non-profit organizations to coordinate a centralized emergency shelter hotline, homelessness prevention, street outreach, emergency shelter and provide housing solutions.
Because of our work, Cincinnati is recognized across the Country. Specifically, as a leader in implementing innovative and effective programs to end homelessness. In December 2015, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) named Strategies to End Homelessness a Unified Funding Agency. This is in recognition of the strength of our community’s homeless services system. There are nearly 400 individual federally-funded homeless services systems in the U.S. Strategies to End Homelessness is only 1 of 14 to be named as Unified Funding Agency.
Strategies to End Homelessness receives funding in part by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the State of Ohio, City of Cincinnati, and Hamilton County. Additionally, we are proud to be a United Way Agency Partner.
