About Us
Our Mission
Cuyahoga Land Bank Charities, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit subsidiary of the Cuyahoga Land Bank, was created to provide housing opportunities to vulnerable populations and communities, and the organizations that serve these populations.
THE CUYAHOGA LAND BANK
The Cuyahoga Land Bank acquires properties, returns them to productive use, reduces blight, increases property values, promotes economic development, supports community goals, and improves the quality of life for county residents.
Formed in 2008, when Northeast Ohio found itself at the epicenter of the national foreclosure crisis, the Cuyahoga Land Bank was an innovation that has become a national model for land banks throughout the country. In its first 12 years, the Land Bank has positively impacted Cuyahoga County’s economy to the tune of $1.6 Billion.
