Gloria’s Place is a new four-story, 44-apartment Permanent Supportive Housing community in Over-the-Rhine, providing safe, stable and affordable homes for individuals who have experienced chronic homelessness. Developed by Over-the-Rhine Community Housing, Gloria’s Place expands OTRCH’s long history of providing dignified, well-operated supportive housing for some of Cincinnati’s most vulnerable residents.

With a total development budget of $14.7 million, Gloria’s Place was made possible through $10 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and support from a wide range of public, private and community partners.

Gloria’s Place builds on the success of OTRCH’s Jimmy Heath House, which has provided permanent supportive housing to people who have experienced homelessness for more than a decade. The community is designed for individuals who have experienced chronic homelessness and may have cycled between the streets, shelters, jail and emergency rooms. Gloria’s Place helps interrupt that cycle by providing permanent housing without requiring sobriety as a condition of entry, while surrounding residents with supportive services that help them stabilize and rebuild their lives.

The building features studio and one-bedroom apartments, along with community spaces designed to foster connection and support. Amenities include an elevator, laundry room, shared lounge and dining space, and a common kitchen that accommodates volunteers, meals and community programming. On-site case management offices and space for visiting medical professionals make it possible for residents to access supportive services where they live.

Gloria’s Place also provides a safe and secure environment with a single point of entry, secured building entrances and a front desk staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Supportive services are provided by OTR Community Housing and partner organizations, helping residents access the resources and relationships they need to build stability and thrive in their new homes.

Gloria’s Place is more than a place to live. It is a community where people who have experienced homelessness can find stability, support and a place to call home.
