The Cincinnati Continuum of Care Homeless to Homes Plan is a major step towards solving homelessness in the Cincinnati community. The Continuum is a nationally recognized local organization that was directed by City Council to develop a comprehensive framework for ensuring that single homeless men and women have access to safe, appropriate shelter facilities that provide them with the services necessary to move from homelessness to homes. Council directed that the Continuum start with a blank slate and develop a system that could become a national model for cities.
I want to thank and congratulate the more than 70 individuals representing a broad cross section of our community who worked so hard to put the plan together. It has my full support as we move forward to prioritize its recommendations.

About Me
- Roxanne Qualls
- I was the three-term Mayor of the City of Cincinnati from December 1993 - November 1999. Prior to that I served for one two-year term on Cincinnati City Council. Since returning to Council in 2007, I have focused on initiatives that are fundamental to building a strong Cincinnati and result in enhanced quality of life, a globally competitive local economy and smart management of City resources. I currently chair Council’s Budget and Finance Committee, Livable Communities Committee, as well as the Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee. I agreed to come back into public service because I love this city. I believe leadership is important. I think I bring the experience to office as a community activist, a member of council, a three-term mayor, a student of public policy, and a teacher that will help council and the mayor meet the challenges the city faces today as we build for the future.
