Ending Homelessness in Toledo and Lucas County
Our mission is to provide leadership for the elimination of homelessness in Lucas County.
The Toledo Lucas County Homelessness Board (TLCHB) coordinates service delivery across an array of housing providers serving individuals experiencing homelessness in Toledo and Lucas County, Ohio.
It is designed to unite and align a diverse array of governmental, nonprofit and private sector players around a common plan for addressing and eliminating homelessness.

Developing and directing a strategic plan for the Continuum
Managing and submitting a collaborative application on behalf of our Continuum to HUD to bring in millions of dollars to support supportive housing programs.
