About Us
A Distinct Identity
Cambry House Charities (CHC) is a non-profit organization committed to providing safe transitional housing and supportive services to prevent homelessness or re-occurrences of homelessness in Cuyahoga County, OH.
We currently provide hot meals to seniors and some homeless citizens quarterly as well as provide filled book bags to replenish school supplies mid-school year.
It is our intent to provide short term crisis management in the near future. We are also writing grants to help us provide our clients who’ve transitioned from homelessness or those in crisis with household linens, kitchenware, furniture, etc.
Please contact us via email or phone with suggestions of other non-profit organizations with similar objectives that may be interested in partnering with us.
