PROJECT DETAILS

Over-the-Rhine Community Housing’s Service Center

  • Hub of operations and heart of resident services

Increasing Capacity & Efficiency

  • 67% more space for confidential residential meetings
  • Double the number of counseling and mediation sessions
  • Immediately address 10% more work orders
  • Additional interns and staff
  • Onsite training for staff and volunteers
  • Securely store confidential records
  • Provide critically needed updates to 120 year-old building
  • Welcoming and productive work environment to positively impact staff and residents

The renovation and expansion of Over-the-Rhine Community Housing’s Service Center will ensure that we are in a position to continue serving low-income residents and our community’s most vulnerable populations. Over-the-Rhine is at a critical juncture where affordable housing must be prioritized to maintain the social, racial, and economic diversity that makes this neighborhood so unique.
