With a mission of ending homelessness and promoting affordable housing, the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio (COHHIO) is involved in a range of housing assistance services in Ohio, including homeless prevention, emergency shelters, transitional housing and permanent affordable housing with linkages to supportive services. COHHIO assists hundreds of housing organizations and homeless service providers in Ohio through public policy advocacy, training and technical assistance, research and public education. Hazen’s $15,000 grant in 2010 will support the Youth Empowerment Project in its efforts to develop and sustain youth councils in Columbus, Akron, Cincinnati and Dayton. It will also support COHHIO prevent homelessness and improve services while expanding and improving education opportunities for homeless youth through leadership programs, empowerment and service.
