Community Shelter Board

Tonight’s the night! We're excited about this special evening celebrating 40 years of housing-focused work at CSB. This anniversary is more than a milestone; it is a chance to reflect on what is possible when a community of partners comes together with a shared commitment to housing stability in Franklin County and the Central Ohio region.

At this evening’s event, our guests are taking a moment to recharge, reconnect, and reflect on the advances we have made together through collaboration and innovation. We are grateful to everyone who joined us tonight to support this work.

Stay tuned as we share highlights from the event!

In a recent NBC4 Columbus Living story, a local mother shares her journey from homelessness to stability and the support that helped her get back on their feet.

What does it take to solve homelessness in our community?

After 40 years of bringing people together to achieve the best outcomes for people facing homelessness in our region, we've learned that real progress happens when a community collaborates and works toward the same goal: ensuring everyone has stable housing.

That's why we're grateful to Cardinal Health for supporting our 40th Anniversary Under One Roof celebration and helping to invest in long-term solutions.

In this NBC4 video interview, Holly Schottenstein Kastan, daughter of CSB founder Melvin Schottenstein, shares the story behind Under One Roof and the legacy of those who helped build a stronger response to homelessness in our community.
