Who We Are.

Harmony House is an emergency supportive housing program for young people ages 18-24. Harmony House provides emergency housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing and inclement weather shelter.  Harmony House is the only program of its kind in Summit County, Ohio.

The Harmony Mission.

Confronting systemic barriers and societal challenges, we empower youth through creative, safe, and affordable housing solutions, actively preparing them to overcome adversity and thrive.

The issues facing inner city youth seem insurmountable, affordable housing, access to health care and transportation, coping and communication skills, education, and spirituality are examples. We believe we can help, and so can you.

Our Board of Directors.
