The Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio (COHHIO) is a coalition of organizations and individuals committed to ending homelessness and to promoting decent, safe, fair, affordable housing for all, with a focus on assisting low-income people and those with special needs. COHHIO was founded in October of 1994 through the merger of the Ohio Housing Coalition, which was established in 1974, with the Ohio Coalition for the Homeless, which was established in 1984.

We achieve our mission by:

• Identifying and advocating for immediate and long-term solutions to homelessness, and for effective housing policy and production at the state, local and national levels.
• Informing and raising the awareness of the public and policy makers about homelessness and Ohio’s housing needs.
• Fostering communication and building local coalitions and developing collaborative partnerships among homeless service providers, housing providers, advocates, low-income and homeless people, funders and government.
• Assuring the availability of funding, training, and technical assistance to local organizations in the field.
• Working with other organizations for systematic change to end poverty.
