1991, OH

Also Known As:
MVHO

Miami Valley Housing Opportunities (MVHO) is a nonprofit organization created in 1991 primarily focused on creating permanent, supportive housing solutions for formerly homeless and disabled people in Montgomery County and other populations in need. MVHO serves as the premier provider of appropriate, safe, and affordable housing for persons with mental illness, chemical dependency, or other disabilities in Montgomery County. We work collaboratively with community partners to link our tenants with the services they need to live independently.

MVHO owns and operates nearly 50 properties. The properties consist of almost 500 scattered-site apartments located throughout Montgomery County. MVHO administers U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Shelter Plus Care rent subsidies to approximately 500 formerly homeless persons with disabilities. These subsidies allow tenants to live in appropriate housing provided by private landlords. In total, MVHO provides housing and/or rent subsidies to over 1,200 formerly homeless persons with disabilities annually.

MVHO Outreach Programs, including Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH), provide outreach and immediate access to basic needs and referrals for street homeless persons with mental illness. The Outreach Team is responsible for the SLATE Program that provides assistance with the transition from street homelessness to independent living. The Streetlink program provides additional assistance to other homeless people in the community to get them linked to housing resources.

MVHO provides support to citizens exiting prison through our Re-Entry team. As part of a statewide demonstration for the Returning Home Ohio (RHO) Programs headed by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections and the Corporation for Supportive Housing, the Re-Entry Team serves disabled, homeless persons leaving state prison. The Re-Entry Team provides services through the Community Transition Program (CTP) to help qualifying adults returning home from prison a transitional benefit of mental health and substance abuse treatment and help with recovery support services like housing, transition, work, and education. Affordable, stable housing helps increase the odds of successful recovery and reintegration and helps people stay connected with the supports they need to thrive.
