IHN Cincinnati Community Partners

Although Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cincinnati provides many services to families in our area experiencing homelessness, we are not alone. When our guests need services that we do not provide, we make referrals to many other agencies to meet their needs. In addition, we work with some of the agencies more closely to provide more comprehensive inter-agency services.

Major Collaborators:

Project Connect : Liason agency between the educational system and kids who are currently staying in shelters. Services include transportation assistance, school clothes and supplies, advocacy, afterschool tutoring and summer enrichment programs.

Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless: IHN is a member agency in this coalition of organizations serving the homeless population in the Greater Cincinnati/Tri-State Area.

Family Promise: formerly National Interfaith Hospitality Network (NIHN), our national affiliate
