Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition

In case you missed it. Yesterday, Cincinnati’s City Council passed a very important motion to ensure that our Continuum of Care program (COC) is able to keep people housed and off the streets. This motion directs the City to create a funding reserve of $3.2 million to support 11 agencies that provide housing and services to help thousands of Cincinnati residents exit/stay out of homelessness. This reserve is critical due to expected significant funding delays created by the Federal Government. Thank you to Council for approving this motion. We are continuing talks with the Hamilton County Administration with hopes that they will provide the other $3.2 million to fully fund the gap needed to help our agencies and our residents.

We are also thankful for the collective advocacy efforts of the organizations who will be impacted, Strategies to End Homelessness, and other housing advocates for your work to make this happen. This has been a community effort to help our community!

$25 for anyone who attends! Redlining and credit scores affect us all. The Homeless Co and North Side are coming together at CAIN to discuss those impacts on our lives in practical terms.

This event is for tenants, young adults, families, organizers, students, homeowners, etc!

See you tomorrow ‼️

Come join us at our next OPEN MIC NIGHT at buddy’s place on Thursday, May 21 at 6pm. Bring a friend, your own work, or a favorite poem to share! 🎤✨

We loved getting to host our People’s Movement History Tour with our members this past weekend. There’s something powerful about walking the neighborhood together, slowing down, and interacting in real time with the stories that have shaped OTR.

This tour is a two-hour, one-mile experience that starts with a grounding in Cincinnati’s history—from Indigenous roots to immigration, to the systems that have shaped housing and access over the years. From there, we walk through OTR, stopping at key sites to talk about the People’s Movement, community resistance, and how neighbors have worked to stay rooted in place despite ongoing displacement pressures.

Along the way, we also name what’s typically overlooked…things like hostile design, the loss of public space, and the real, lived impact of gentrification. This tour makes you more aware and gives context for the places you see and interact with every day.

If you’ve been curious about joining a tour or want to bring your team, organization, or community group, we’d love to set something up that fits what you’re looking for.
