Two Cleveland projects, Sisters Haven and the Walter Collins Veteran Housing and Service Facility, are taking steps to secure housing for Cleveland’s most vulnerable.
The Sisters Haven Cudell House will be able to house seven new or expecting mothers at a time.
In 2020, the last year with available data, Ohio had the 10th highest infant mortality rate in the country, according to the CDC. Sisters Haven aims to provide not only housing but support with things like employment, daycare and more permanent housing. Cleveland’s Landmark Commission approved plans to renovate and expand a home on West 99th Street that was previously scheduled for demolition. Renovations on the home are expected to wrap up in December, when Sisters Haven is set to begin serving expecting mothers. The home will be able to host seven mothers at a time and will welcome people at any stage of pregnancy through approximately 9 to 12 months after the baby is born.
“We have been working on wrap-around, trauma-informed programming,” Mallett said. “We're following evidence-based programs to help us help these women. Ultimately, they want to be heard. They want to make their own choices…Many of these programs for women, they go in and they're like ... 'This is what we think is best for you.' And that's not necessarily what's best for them.
