Our Work
Our work starts with four pillars
NEOCH exists to eliminate the root causes of homelessness while loving our diverse community through four pillars of our work: organizing, advocacy, education, and street outreach. These four pillars become the four teams that make up the NEOCH team.
Advocacy
We seek systemic change by leading service providers, government officials, and the Northeast Ohio community to address policies and conditions that cause homelessness while also changing their response to people experiencing a housing crisis.
Organizing
NEOCH’s organizing work mobilizes a grassroots constituency to share ideas and build power to ignite public support, political will, and initiatives to eliminate the root causes of homelessness.
Education
Our education work operates with the goal of increasing community awareness of the oppression and inequity in homelessness and housing systems and leading those working and living in these contexts to organize and advocate for change.
Street Outreach
We aim to reduce Cuyahoga County’s unsheltered homeless population through relationally based, trauma-informed street outreach services and collaboration with other service providers and volunteer groups.
