Front Steps Housing and Services is a nonprofit organization that provides permanent supportive housing and related services to individuals and families, with a history rooted in transitional housing for low-income and homeless women. Originating as Transitional Housing Inc. in Cleveland’s near West Side, the organization rebuilt its model over time to emphasize long-term housing solutions and supportive services, culminating in all units being designated as permanent supportive housing for chronically disabled or economically disadvantaged residents in Cuyahoga County. Its mission centers on breaking the cycle of homelessness by offering stable, affordable housing and the supportive resources necessary for residents to maintain housing and improve their circumstances. Based in Cleveland, Ohio, the organization has evolved from a 60-unit transitional program to a broader continuum of housing and services that now serves men, women, and children, including single male parents. The name Front Steps Housing and Services, adopted in 2014, reflects a broader scope of offerings beyond transitional housing. The nonprofit operates with a small staff and focuses on providing a starting point for new beginnings, using housing as the foundation for broader stability in the local community.
