As 2025 draws to a close, we want to thank you for being part of the solution to homelessness in our community. Thanks to your generosity, Strategies to End Homelessness has made significant progress.

But the crisis continues, and your support today will fuel the work that protects our neighbors, strengthens families, and builds lasting housing stability. 

Below is a snapshot of what we’ve accomplished together this year, the issues causing housing insecurity in Cincinnati, and how your year-end gift can keep the momentum going:

Stories of Impact

After losing her job and facing homelessness, Kate reached out to us on what was most likely one of the worst days of her life. With support and referrals to housing resources, she regained stability and is now working to give back.

Programs That Work

Homelessness Prevention

Learn how preventing homelessness before it starts is one of the most effective ways to reduce it — and how community support is fueling success.

The Housing Stability Collaborative

We are proactively identifying families at risk of eviction using predictive data analytics, providing early intervention services — before a crisis.

Central Access Point (CAP) Helpline 

CAP remains the central gateway to shelter, prevention, and housing resources — ensuring that anyone in crisis gets connected to what they need quickly and effectively.

Too many people are one unexpected setback away from homelessness.

And the need is still urgent:

GoFundMe for rent? A powerful look at how the severe shortage of affordable housing in our region is forcing families toward crisis — and why more support is needed to keep people housed.

Food insecurity and benefit disruptions can destabilize housing. Basic needs like food security are tied to housing stability — and how disruptions in federal benefits can increase the risk of homelessness.

Will you make a year-end gift today? Donate now!

Every gift strengthens our community and brings us closer to ending homelessness.

Thank you for your compassion, your partnership, and your belief that housing stability is a human right.

The final days of the year are often the hardest for families on the brink of homelessness — colder nights, rising bills, and fewer options when a crisis hits. Your support today can be the difference between a family sleeping in their own bed or facing the uncertainty of homelessness.
