What We Do

The Homeless Families Foundation is a family shelter in Columbus, Ohio. Its program includes shelter in separate apartment units and support services for homeless families with children and a Children's Education Center  for after school and summer tutoring and enrichment for K-8^th grade students.  It operates as a Housing First agency: most families, with some help, are capable of living independently and can best work to address their issues when they are in a stable, long term home environment.

The children are an important  focus of The Homeless Families Foundation. It's program of shelter and support services is designed to provide immediate stability for children, who may have been moving from place to place each night, missing school or day care, and missing meals during their families'  homelessness.
