- Social Responsibility Y-Haven provides transitional housing, Substance Use Disorder and mental health treatment, and other critical services to adult women and men who are experiencing homelessness, re-entering the community from incarceration, and seeking to recover from opioid use disorder. Y-Haven worked to help participants recover from addiction and mental illness, secure income and permanent housing, and reduce the likelihood of overdose. Y-Haven did this through the provision of safe transitional housing, high-quality behavioral health treatment, nursing care management, case management, vocational support, and other needed services.

Our summer camps served 1,913 children in day, sports and fine arts camps. We also taught thousands of kids and teens to swim.

Our We Run This City youth marathon program, serving kids in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and the Warrensville Heights City School District, had another successful year in partnership with the Cleveland Marathon. For all of our youth development programs, we provided need-based scholarships to make our programs more affordable.
