Community advocates and resources are bridging the gap on the east side of Cleveland this winter. The stigma associated with homelessness is distrust of other providers, bans from other shelters, mental or physical health concerns, or simply personal preference. Tis the season to be warm, happy and filled with hope for those who are seeking shelter to avoid being cold. Come and stay with a seasonal no barrier shelter that offers resources, meals and opportunities.

Metanoia Project, was formed in 2007 by a group of homeless outreach workers and advocates in response to a burgeoning unsheltered population in Cleveland. Operating a winter shelter for folks who can’t or won’t be served by the larger/traditional shelter system. Whatever the reason folks are outside, Our primary goal is to make sure no one freezes to death in Cleveland.

Once guests have been able to address their basic needs, we are also available to connect them with resources they may want and need like affordable housing, recovery services, and medical care. Our services are entirely voluntary and we do not require anything from guests who seek shelter other than adherence to our basic shelter safety rules.
