Continuums of Care
System MapsA place to track what the data suggests, what still needs validation, and where partners may need deeper context.
State of Ohio — All CoCs
Ohio's six Continuums of Care collectively serve youth and young adults (ages 14–24) experiencing homelessness across a geography that spans dense urban centers, mid-sized cities, and large rural regions. The systems vary considerably in scale, provider capacity, and available data — from Daybreak's well-documented continuum in Dayton to the Balance of State's network of over a dozen regional partners spread across dozens of counties. Across all CoCs, youth-dedicated emergency shelter remains the most critical gap: fewer than 50 confirmed youth-specific ES beds exist statewide. A state-level performance rollup from Stella P is not yet available; the maps that follow reflect each community's current programs and priorities as documented through the 2025–2026 YHSI planning process.
