NEOCH has been a trusted advocate and partner in the work to end homelessness in our community. Ownership of this building will bring a higher level of coordination, stability, and accessibility to this vital piece of the social safety net. "As federal policy changes are attacking best practices in homeless services, NEOCH's acquisition of this building allows us to serve people based on our values with deep commitment to dignity and housing-focused care," says Josiah Quarles, NEOCH's Director of Organizing and Advocacy.

Each year, the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless publishes the Street Card, a FREE booklet containing vital information about services for people experiencing homelessness in our community.

The Street Card is designed to be portable, easy to read, and up to date so that people seeking services, outreach workers, and other organizations throughout Cuyahoga County can access the information they need.

We distribute the Street Card to individuals, shelters, hospitals, schools, police stations, and libraries. It contains information that would assist a homeless person in accessing services in Cuyahoga County.

To request copies of our Street Card, please call NEOCH’s office at (216) - 432 - 0540.

We have compiled resources and services that work with NEOCH and may be of good help.

NEOCH helps people with low income in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, to obtain their identification documents through our program called The Identification Crisis Collaborative.

The ID Crisis Collaborative (IDCC) consists of 30+ sites including churches, community groups and agencies in Cuyahoga County. The program serves the needs of people with low income and who are unhoused. We assist in obtaining documents – certified Birth Certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and Ohio residency forms (identification documents) and State of Ohio IDs, State of Ohio Driver’s Licenses and Commercial Driver’s Licenses replacements and renewals (IDs).
