Education, advocacy, and empowerment for homeless people and programs. We are a small, grass-roots organization and your support makes a big difference!  Contributions can be sent to Columbus Coalition for the Homeless, 89 West Park Avenue, Columbus, OH 43222.

Please become a member!  A $25 donation supports the work of the Coalition. You will also receive an e-copy of the Street Speech newspaper from the previous month. Join the monthly Coalition Membership meeting – the first Wednesday of each month from 9 AM to 10 AM (virtual meetings for now).

Street Speech is back!  Sales have been very slow due to the corona virus, though.  Vendors need your support!  Please buy a copy of Street Speech from vendors wearing official badges.  Anything you can give is helpful!
