Home for Families is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has worked with families and youth who are currently homeless or at-risk of homelessness in Central Ohio for nearly 40 years. We provide access to essential resources that meet our clients' immediate needs, like help with paying rent and utilities and food, clothing, and sanitary products, while fostering long-term stability with housing, financial, and educational empowerment programs.

Our dedicated teams serve over 1,200 families and youth every year, helping clients who are homeless find and obtain new housing quickly, stopping evictions where possible to prevent homelessness, and providing educational and feeding programming for children ages 5-13 to help our families and youth thrive. We work alongside our clients as partners, supporting them as they use their own unique strengths to build a foundation for long-term success.
