Here at EDEN, we are working hard to support our neighbors in Cleveland and all of Northeast Ohio.
In 2023, EDEN programs provided housing assistance to 4,623 households / 8,089 individuals. This means that almost 8,100 individuals were not homeless because of EDEN housing programs. In addition, Norma Herr Women’s Center provided temporary shelter to 1,109 homeless women. Imagine the impact on the community if every one of those women could achieve housing!
We have big goals and we cannot achieve them alone—we rely on the support of our community. You can show your support by donating your time, talent, and treasure to help us achieve our vision of ending chronic homelessness and housing insecurities in Northeast Ohio.
EDEN adheres to the ten principles of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Donor Bill of Rights.
EDEN remains unwavering in our commitment to the community, but recognizes that the ultimate success of our efforts depends, in large part, on building partnerships with individuals and organizations that share our desire to combat and eradicate homelessness. Your monetary gift, no matter the size, will make a difference in the lives of those who are low- income, mentally ill, and/or disabled in Cuyahoga County. Together, we can continue to define what it means to be a true community, which is neighbor taking care of neighbor.
If you are unable to donate at this time, please tell your friends, family, and neighbors about us. Please share our website address (www.EDENcle.org) and our social media information.
