This year in Cincinnati, hundreds of families who were on the brink of homelessness stayed in their homes — because prevention worked.

Behind every number is a person whose story changed because you believed homelessness is solvable. A mother who didn’t lose her apartment after a sudden medical bill. A student who finished the school year without changing schools.

These aren’t stories of chance.

They are stories of prevention.

And they are only possible because you believe that homelessness can be stopped before it starts. Stopped by using data and innovation to predict who’s at risk of homelessness and intervene before a crisis begins. Prevention works — and Cincinnati is leading the way.

Every time prevention works, a family avoids trauma, a child keeps learning, and a neighborhood stays stable. When you give to Strategies to End Homelessness, you’re not just helping one person in need.

You’re fueling an entire system that works smarter — one that makes every dollar count and helps our community thrive.

Your gift today keeps people in their homes tomorrow.

The need is urgent. Rent increases and unexpected expenses are still pushing families to the edge. And for every person we help stay housed, another neighbor is at risk of falling into homelessness.

Your generosity will directly support the prevention programs that make Cincinnati a national model for change.

Consider this: you can prevent someone from experiencing homelessness by donating $226.00. $500.00 or more will keep several neighbors housed.

Every amount matters — because every story of stability starts with someone like you. Please, consider a gift today. You’ll be helping our city take one more step toward a future where homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring and where homelessness prevention is the norm, not the exception.

Your generosity doesn’t just change lives — it changes what’s possible for our entire city. Cincinnati is proving that homelessness is not inevitable. It’s solvable. And your support makes that future real.

With gratitude,

Kevin Finn, President/CEO
