Gloria’s Place

The Need

This project is intended to build upon the success of OTR Community
Housing’s history of providing well operated supportive housing to the most vulnerable members of our community. Gloria’s Place project will most closely resemble our Jimmy Heath House project in Over-the-Rhine, which has successfully provided dignified housing for people who are unhoused for over 10 years.

We target the most challenging situations—people who have experienced chronic homelessness, who do not respond to traditional treatment programs, and spend years cycling between the streets, shelters, jail cells, and emergency rooms. This cycle is extraordinarily expensive for communities and profoundly destructive for the people caught in it. Gloria’s Place will interrupt the cycle by providing a permanent home without requiring sobriety first. Residents are then surrounded with robust support services.
