Bianca, Ariel & Sam
Bianca and her young children, Ariel and Sam, were at risk of becoming homeless as she struggled to pay nearly $2,000 in back rent.
Bianca and her young children, Ariel and Sam, were at risk of becoming homeless as she struggled to pay nearly $2,000 in back rent. And without reliable childcare for Ariel and Sam, Bianca had limited employment opportunities.
She turned to Providence House for support after hearing about our Family Preservation services from a family we had worked with previously.
While Ariel and Sam received 24/7 loving care in our Crisis Nursery, our Social Work Team helped Bianca access resources to catch up on rent payments and avoid eviction. As she worked with Providence House to enhance stability for her family, Bianca applied for and received a childcare scholarship and began a new job!
Ariel continued attending school while staying with us and enjoyed fun activities and field trips as her baby brother, Sam, got lots of snuggles and learned to roll over!
The kiddos soon reunited with their mom and went home with a stronger foundation for their future!
Lauren & Jamie
Single Mom, Lauren, was grieving the loss of her daughter and her 8-year-old son, Jamie, who is diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, was struggling with his sister’s passing.
Single Mom, Lauren, was grieving the loss of her daughter and her 8-year-old son, Jamie, who is diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, was struggling with his sister’s passing. Lauren needed help caring for Jamie during this difficult time for her family while also looking for safer housing for them both.
Lauren brought Jamie to stay at Providence House where he was surrounded by the loving support of our Childcare Team. They helped him make progress in regulating his emotions and interacting with other children. Jamie continued going to his regular school each day and also participated music, theatre, and art therapy classes at Providence House through the Beck Center for the Arts. The stimulation, social interaction, and daily routine at Providence House helped Jamie thrive and enhance his development.
While Jamie stayed with us, his mom, Lauren, received case management support from our Social Work Team and was able to secure new housing for their family with resources to pay her security deposit.
Lauren and Jamie reunited in their new home and Providence House provided a new bed for Jamie through a donation as well as some important household items to help give them a strong start!

Support Our East Campus Project
Last year, nearly 700 children were waitlisted or unserved; we expect that number to keep growing due to limited capacity at our Providence House West Campus in Ohio City.
Nearly 70% of those children are from the East Side of Cleveland, so we are expanding east to the Buckeye-Shaker Neighborhood to make it easier for families to access our services.
The new Providence House East Campus includes a 20-bed Crisis Nursery, Family Resiliency Center, and offices for our administrative staff. The next step is to establish a Community Services Hub.
Our project focuses on community development “from the inside” – supporting the health, safety, and stability of the community’s children and families. The Providence House East Campus site is a $25 million project. The campus is centered in the heart of a larger 10-block, $60 million neighborhood transformation zone on Buckeye Road.
By coming into the Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood of Cleveland, Providence House hopes to be a central anchor and partner in the future development of this and surrounding communities, as we were in the now vibrant Ohio City neighborhood.
Construction on the East Campus Crisis Nursery is now complete!
