Founded in 1991, EDEN, Inc. is a non-profit housing agency devoted to increasing the number of decent and affordable housing units for homeless and/or low-income persons with disabilities.  EDEN has continuously promoted fair housing and reasonable accommodations in our community. We provide housing services for approximately 3,000 people monthly throughout Cleveland, Ohio and the surrounding suburbs.

EDEN's motto, The Porch Light is Always On, reflects our agency's efforts to help persons with disabilities reach their full potential.  To fulfill this goal, EDEN purchases, renovates, and leases housing units throughout Cleveland, Ohio and the surrounding suburbs. EDEN also administers emergency housing assistance funds, housing voucher programs, and Permanent-Supportive Housing projects.
