The Resilient Housing Initiative
The City of Columbus’ Resilient Housing Initiative (sometimes called “Housing Problem Solvers”, “RHI”, or “Housing Navigators”) is expected to launch in October 2025.
It will connect residents who are at high risk of homelessness with a trained professional to help solve housing problems and identify resources that can help prevent entry to a homeless shelter. It is not for everyone. This program may be right for you if you have been homeless before or if you have nowhere to go if you lose your current housing.
Eligible individuals and families will be identified through the Homeless Hotline at 614.274.7000.
