We’re incredibly grateful to Huntington National Bank and Worthington Enterprises Foundation for stepping up as Heading Home sponsors of Under One Roof. Their leadership shows what’s possible when a community pulls together with a shared purpose.

For 40 years, we’ve been working side by side with partners, neighbors, and supporters to strengthen housing stability in our community and make lasting changes.

While our event is sold out for this year, you can still make a difference for our neighbors in need of stable housing. Donations made through June 30 will be matched. Make your donation today:

As we reflect on the past and look ahead, we want to know: What does “home” mean to you after years of growth and community change in our region? Share your thoughts below, we're listening.

Hunger and homelessness are deeply connected challenges. Today, we raise awareness of this reality and affirm our commitment to sustainable solutions that reduce hunger, strengthen stability and support the well-being of our community.

Data tells us where we are. Action determines where we go next. To reduce homelessness in our region, all of us need to be part of the solution: from nonprofits to business leaders, and from elected officials to neighbors.

We want to recognize the incredible effort of our partners and volunteers, who have committed to gathering this essential data to better understand homelessness in our community.

You can help by advocating for affordable housing, supporting local programs, and sharing this report. Join the effort: csb.org/pit

What does it really take to go from struggling with housing instability to building a life you’re proud of?

Sara Ball knows that journey firsthand. After experiencing homelessness, Sara found support through a local shelter and caring community partners. Today, she’s living in her own apartment and working as a peer supporter, helping others take those same difficult first steps forward.

Her story is a powerful reminder that when we come together as a community, real change happens. Take a moment to watch her story.

For 40 years, we’ve seen what’s possible when a community comes together to support its neighbors. Now through June 30, your gift can go even farther. Donations will be matched to help support neighbors experiencing a housing crisis in Central Ohio.
