EDEN has a wide variety of programs to meet the ongoing needs of those experiencing housing insecurities and homelessness:
- Permanent Supportive Housing — EDEN’s 14 PSH buildings (850 total units) enable people experiencing long term homelessness to find a permanent place to call home. Residents are given the opportunity to participate in supportive services, although housing is not contingent upon participation. EDEN is working with its partners to develop 2 additional PSH buildings: one to serve unhoused seniors, including senior veterans; and one to serve unhoused individuals in Lorain County.
- Rental Assistance Programs — EDEN administers rental subsidy programs to more than 4,700 households each month to provide quality, safe, and affordable housing.
- Scattered Site Properties — EDEN now owns and operates approximately 80 properties with more than 250 units—including single family homes, condominium units, & small apartment buildings—to house both individual and family households.
- Rapid Re-Housing — EDEN administers Continuum of Care & Emergency Solutions Grant funds to assist with time-limited rent and utility assistance as well as housing location services.
- Homeless Prevention Funding — EDEN administers ARPA funds for the Continuum of Care to assist with rent and utility arrears, security deposits, hotel stays, cleaning fees and household items.
- Safe Havens — EDEN owns and operates two Safe Haven properties. All residents must meet HUD's criteria of homelessness and must be severely mentally disabled.
- Norma Herr Women's Center — NHWC is an emergency women's shelter that is owned by EDEN and operated by YWCA. In 2023, 1,109 women received shelter at the Center.
- Housing Stabilization — EDEN's Stability Specialists collaborate with our participants to help orient clients about their housing programs, locate a unit, and then assist them in maintaining their housing. We are now providing this service to clients of Legal Aid, NEOCH, & Cuyahoga County Dept of Children & Family Services.
