Because Every Life Deserves a Village.

Who We Are

It Takes a Village Ohio is a compassionate, community-centered organization dedicated to providing safe housing, supportive services, and life-changing opportunities for youth, adults, and vulnerable individuals across Ohio. We proudly operate a structured and supportive Residential Program for youth ages 16–21, adult mental health residential programs, veteran housing, transitional living, and specialized programs for domestic violence survivors, individuals experiencing homelessness, and those re-entering society.

We believe every person deserves security, stability, and a true chance to rebuild their life. Through licensed youth programs, adult mental health residential programs, transitional living, and supportive housing, we create environments where residents are respected, supported, and empowered to grow.

We proudly partner with county agencies, JFS, courts, hospitals, shelters, schools, and re-entry programs to ensure every resident receives the wraparound services, advocacy, and opportunities necessary for success.

Our team delivers trauma-informed care, personalized support, and strong community connections that prepare individuals for long-term independence.

At It Takes a Village Ohio, we don’t just provide housing—we provide a community where healing begins and futures are rebuilt.
