Our community gathering space located at 4843 Wendell Avenue.

We provided overnight seasonal shelter for Cleveland’s unsheltered homeless community last winter and served over 167 unique individuals during the season.

Moving forward we are partnering with Kindred Harbor Behavior Health to deliver a holistic, integrated support system for families and individuals in Slavic Village, aimed at ensuring their long-term stability, self-sufficiency, community integration, and well-being, with an enhanced focus on substance use disorder (SUD) services.

Shelter the People Cleveland is acquiring and developing vacant lots for the installation of affordable, modular, and sustainable homes.

The homes will be built by men and women with lived homeless experience. Shelter the People Cleveland is a General Contractor registered with the City of Cleveland, and we will train apprentices and hold educational seminars as part of the construction process. We are thrilled to partner with People's Plumbing & Good Building for the construction of these homes and other projects.

With other neighborhoods in severe need of new housing, we see this as a model for all of Cuyahoga County.
