A project to help young people experiencing homelessness will move forward. Monday, the Cleveland Board of Zoning Appeals greenlit a youth drop-in center planned for an historic district in Ohio City.
News 5 previously reported about the proposal and the resistance it’s faced from some neighbors on Franklin Boulevard.“The youth drop-in center will fill a critical gap in outreach, engagement and services for the young people experiencing homelessness in our community,” explained Angela D’Orazio, senior programming officer, Sisters of Charity Foundation.
Cotton, and other young people who have experienced homelessness, provided feedback for the drop-in center project. They specifically chose the building on Franklin Boulevard because of its location in a residential neighborhood, near bus lines and other social services. “Is there a need? Certainly. Is this the best from which to deliver the service? It doesn’t appear so,” said neighbor Robert Shenk during Monday’s Board of Zoning Appeals meeting.
The mother of seven children under age 10 told News 5 several neighbors conducted their own research into youth drop-in centers and the potential impact one could have on their neighborhood. She said a men’s homeless shelter down the street provided a sample experience of what they believe would happen if the drop-in center moves forward.
