Welcome to Team NEOCH, Kait!

We are so excited to welcome Kait McNeeley to our team here at NEOCH. Kait is currently our Deputy Director and will be responsible for overseeing outreach teams, developing outreach strategies, and fostering partnerships with community organizations to address the needs of unhoused people.

Kait McNeeley She/Her

Kait grew up in Lakewood, Ohio and graduated from Bowling Green State University. Kait has never been shy about speaking up for things that are important to her and has made a career out of using her voice and privilege to advocate for, break down stigmas, and amplify the voices of marginalized groups. Kait has dedicated nearly a decade to working in homeless services, starting as an Outreach Worker on the PATH team with FrontLine Service and progressing to roles such as Property Manager with Permanent Supportive Housing (Eden, Inc.) and most recently the Executive Director with The Metanoia Project. She has a strong passion for community and a desire to make it better for everyone. She is a firm believer in making a longer table, not a taller fence and looks forward to the day when there is room for everyone at this table.

Kait is thrilled for the opportunity to bring her passion for justice to team NEOCH and continue to make an impact in our Cleveland community. In her free time, you can find her outdoors - catching the sunrise at Edgewater beach, hiking the trails in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, cheering on the Guardians at Progressive Field, or simply enjoying the peacefulness life can offer in the backyard on her deck, usually accompanied by one (or several) four legged friends. Homeless Service Advocate is Kait’s day job, and dog sitting is her second passion!

We are happy to have Kait on our team and invite you to send your warm welcomes!
