EDEN’s mission is to provide housing solutions to people facing the challenges of housing insecurities and homelessness.
A Mission Worthy of Your Support
In 2026, EDEN will celebrate 35 years of providing safe, stable, housing and related supports to thousands of individuals and families. And while this milestone deserves celebration, it also serves as a sobering reminder: our mission is even more urgent today than it was in 1991.
Your annual fund gift ensures that EDEN can continue to:
1. Move people off the streets and into housing.
2. Prevent evictions and homelessness before they occur.
3. Provide housing supports that help people remain housed.
4. Provide non-congregate emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness.
5. Maintain and grow a portfolio of affordable housing.
6. Advocate for policies that protect and strengthen the housing safety net.
NOW is the time to stand with EDEN. Your support will provide the critical core operating strength that allows EDEN to weather uncertainty and continue serving those who need us most.
Thank you for your partnership. Thank you for your faith in EDEN. And thank you for believing that a safe home is the foundation for health and stability for those experiencing housing instability and homelessness!

Donate Your
Financial Support
Your monetary gift, no matter the size, will make a difference in the lives of those who are low- income, mentally ill, and/or disabled in Cuyahoga County who are in need of housing support..
Please join EDEN's Annual Appeal by donating a set amount each month via credit card …
- Five people who donate $10 a month = $600. This would buy a refrigerator and stove for a previously unhoused family who moves into a new apartment without appliances.
- Five people who donate $25 a month = $1,500. This would pay an extra security deposit and first month's rent for a family who has poor rental histories because of circumstances beyond their control, such as illness or job insecurity.
- Five people who donate $50 a month = $3,000. This would pay the back rent and past due utilities of a family who has lost their job or had their work hours cut.
If you want to pay an amount all at once, no problem! We will use the money you send to us to do good in our community!
Together, we can continue to define what it means to be a true community, which is neighbor taking care of neighbor. If you are unable to donate at this time, please tell your friends, family, and neighbors about us and share our website address (www.EDENcle.org).
Donate Your Time & Talent
It takes an entire community to solve the big problems, and we invite you to become part of ours! EDEN is always in need of volunteers who want to get involved. Whether it is a semester-long internship or a “Done in a Day” volunteer project at an EDEN property, we have an opportunity for you! Let us know what you like to do, and we will connect with you.
