Putting an end to homelessness in Cincinnati and Hamilton County

In the fall of 2009, City Council asked for a plan to help us create a new system in which the homeless can move to homes and become productive members of the community. The Homeless to Homes initiative's goal is to insure the highest standards of care for the homeless, while also making sure that new housing facilities for the homeless are good neighbors to the surrounding community.

City Council asked the Cincinnati/Hamilton County Continuum of Care for the Homeless, Inc, (CoC, Inc.) to take a "blank slate" approach and designing from the ground up a new system that would substantially decrease the number of homeless persons requiring shelter services each night. The CoC delivered the  Homeless to Homes Plan to City Council and Mayor Mallory in April, 2009. The CoC came back to City Council with the Homeless to Homes Implementation Report and Update in January 2010.
