Intro:
Neighborhood Support and Development services continue to provide support leading to the self-sufficiency of indviduals and families. Steady progress remains in our efforts to reduce the disparity that exists in this neighborhood in the areas of employment, housing, and poverty.

Opportunity Knocks program:
CCH is one of six Columbus settlement houses which provide home visits by Opportunity Knocks advocates. These advocates help families transitioning from public assistance to develop plans for employment and self-sufficiency.

How does OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS work?
Advocates will visit prospective clients in their home, or any pre-arranged meeting place. They will then assess the current family's situation and identify the needs and barriers. From there an action plan will be developed to bring about self-sufficiency. Services provided include job training, barrier removal, and family support programs.

Americorps Program:
We offer written materials and assistance in setting up neighborhood programs.

Home Buyers Workshop:
CCH sponsors homeownership workshops conducted by Columbus Neighborhood Housing Services.

Health Screenings:
We coordinate with medical professionals to provide annual screenings for high blood pressure and diabetes as well as flu and pneumonia shots for neighborhood residents. Most screenings are offered at no cost.

Voter Registration:
Voter registration cards are available for neighborhood residents who wish to vote.

Employment Services:
CCH is committed to helping neighborhood residents achieve their employment goals by assisting them in several ways. For further information regarding CCH's Employment Assistance Programs click here.

Senior Outreach Program:
CCH believes our neighborhood is enriched by the wealth of expertise, knowledge and wisdom that our Senior Adults share and is the foundation of our community. The Senior Outreach program is designed to enhance the quality of life of our older adults. For further information regarding CCH's Senior Outreach Programs click here.

Housing Development Assistance:   CCH is eligible to complete and submit applications for FEMA assistance. In partnership with other organizations, we complete, submit and review applications for the Homeless Prevention Program for those who meet the qualifications of that program.
Food Pantry:   Once a month assistance for nutritional needs is available to those who are homeless, unemployed or experiencing a financial hardship.
