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 26 Years of Filling Hearts with
Hope, 1986 - 2010
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.
