Watch for our announcement of an upcoming housing rehabilitation matching grant program. This program is being designed to provide up to $30,000 per home renovation to qualifying social service and faith-based partners.

We formed Cuyahoga Land Bank Charities to provide low-cost/no-cost homes and housing support to the most vulnerable populations in our community, including adults aging out of foster care, single moms transitioning from homelessness, women escaping domestic violence and trafficking, disabled veterans and others.
Through The Cuyahoga Land Bank, we have donated over 100 homes to these vulnerable individuals. We’ve been able to accomplish this with help from our sponsors and by partnering with municipalities, nonprofit organizations, faith-based communities, and local volunteers.
