The Homeless Families Foundation is a homeless families’ service provider in Columbus, Ohio. Programs include housing assistance, holistic Case Management, and a children’s education center (Dowd Education Center) for afterschool and summer tutoring and enrichment for children in kindergarten through middle school. It operates as a Housing First agency: most families, with some help, are capable of living independently and can best work to address their issues when they are in a stable, long-term home environment.
