You may qualify for housing through CHN if you meet any of the following criteria:
— You are currently homeless
— You receive case management services through an Alcohol Drug and Mental Health (ADAMH) Network mental health service provider
— You have a disability
— You meet Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) Housing Choice Voucher requirements

Currently, there are two primary routes to obtain housing with Community Housing Network. We receive referrals from the Community Shelter Board for people who are in a homeless shelter or living on the streets. If you enter a homeless shelter, you may be assigned a Rapid Rehousing case manager to assist you with applying for housing through the Community Shelter Board.

The other route is by way of referral from a case manager with a Franklin County ADAMH-funded community mental health center. The list of eligible providers is available here: ADAMH Network Providers.

Occasionally, we have waitlists open that do not require a case manager to apply. Please call our office at (614) 487-6700 to inquire about open waitlists. Waitlist applications are filled on a first-come-first-served basis

Realistically, it may be 1-3 years or longer. The wait depends on move-outs and the number of applications already on file.

You can apply for a voucher ONLY at Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority.

Unfortunately, we do not have immediate or emergency housing available.

For assistance finding shelter in Franklin County call (614) 274-7000.
