Stategies to End Homelessness

Effective January 1, 2012 the Cincinnati/Hamilton County Continuum of Care for the Homeless, Inc. (CoC, Inc.) has a new name: Strategies to End Homelessness, Inc. The CoC was created to oversee local involvement with the HUD “Continuum of Care for the Homeless” funding process, so our name was taken from that process. However, over the last four years, our mission has expanded. As our name did not fit nor communicate this expanded mission, it was time to make a change. The Strategies to End Homelessness name is more descriptive of our central mission, and the missions of our many partners. We want to end homelessness by preventing those at risk from becoming homeless, by providing a high level of service to those who are currently homeless, and by ensuring that people who exit homelessness do not become homeless again. We do not want to manage homelessness; we want to solve it. I know that in our field there is an abbreviation or acronym for everything, which is why we have previously been called the “Continuum” or “CoC.” Therefore, I also want you to be aware that we will refer to ourselves as End Homelessness for short, as that is what we intend to do. We are excited about our new name, but even more so about our expanded mission and initiatives to end homelessness. We look forward to continuing and building upon our partnership with you in the future. Our mailing address and phone numbers will remain the same. Feel free to contact Strategies to End Homelessness at 513-263-2780.

Look for our new website in March.
