ESTABLISHED: 2014
MISSION: Community Matters exists to create a thriving and more just community by removing barriers to opportunity.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY: Community Matters is rooted in Cincinnati’s Lower Price Hill neighborhood, and we believe that all people can thrive when positive opportunities exist within their community. Our work focuses on four pillars:
1) Family Sustainability—ensuring all families have the resources to meet their goals; 2) Education Pathways—adult learners have the opportunity to advance their knowledge and skills; 3) Resident Leadership—residents spearhead community development and hold power in community institutions; and 4) Thriving Community—Lower Price Hill is an affordable and vibrant place to live.
Across these pillars, we partner with more than 2,000 families each year. From a choice food pantry and GED instruction to community gardens and affordable housing development, every opportunity is developed from and led through a partnership with our neighbors.
