Leading the coordinated response to homelessness in Franklin County and the Central Ohio region.
The Healthy Housing Continuum is our blueprint for housing stability, from homelessness to a permanent home. But there's a huge gap in Community and Deeply Affordable Housing in Central Ohio. We're closing it with Permanent Supportive Housing, Rapid Re-Housing, and more. #HealthyHousingContinuum
