Welcome

The Homeless Families Foundation is a family shelter in Columbus, Ohio. It provides shelter and support services for homeless families and an extensive tutoring and enrichment program for homeless and at-risk school age children.

OUR MISSION: To provide shelter, support, stability and nurturing for homeless children and their families as they prepare to acquire and maintain permanent housing.

The Journey

 Over 22 Years of Filling Hearts with Hope, 1986 - 2009

Not a day goes by the Homeless Families Foundation without the staff, Board members, and volunteers reaching out to our families and children to share the dream and hope for a better future. Our goal is to help families stay together despite the traumatic events that lead to homelessness, to help them take the steps necessary to empower their independence and to assist them in securing permanent housing.
