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!
