Hammitt, LISW-S, Director, has released a resource directory to benefit the Greater Cincinnati homeless population. The directory can be downloaded here.

The directory was compiled by Sharon Graavett, LISW-S, and edited by Emily Hunt, MSW, LSW, with special thanks to Chris Chatfield, Chief, Social Work Services, for his vision and guidance in development.

The resources cover Hamilton, Butler, and Clermont County in Ohio, as well as Boone, Kenton, and Campbell County in Kentucky.

The following kinds of resources are included in the directory: Emergency Shelters, Mental Health Services, Soup Kitchens, Food Pantries, Clothing Assistance, Rent and Utility Assistance programs, Transportation, and Employment Resources, Medical, Birth Certificates/IDs, Payee, Low Income Permanent Housing, and Veteran Services.

This 5th Edition of the resource guide was published in 2014, but much of the information in the resource guide remains correct. A .pdf of the resource guide can be downloaded from multiple locations in our Resource Directory, including the the Veterans section.
