Welcome to the Columbus Coalition for the
Homeless. We are a coalition of service
providers, currently and formerly homeless
people, and concerned citizens.
We meet on the first Wednesday of every month
at the Salvation Army at 966 E. Main St. in
Columbus, OH. We meet from 9-11 AM. If you are
at all concerned about ending homelessness in
our community, please join us. Our monthly
meeting is open to all.
If you would like to send us a question or if
you are homeless and have a problem with
existing services or accessing assistance, please
e-mail
info@columbushomeless.org or call (614) 228-1342. We will do all we can
to answer your question or to help you resolve
your grievance.

Access” for all single adults seeking emergency
shelter in Columbus and a different "Centralized

children).
All single adults in need of shelter
