March is Social Work Month – we want to take a moment to honor all of the social workers at FrontLine Service who tirelessly work every day to transform the lives of our clients. We appreciate how you continue to show up, advocate for, and give hope to everyone we serve and the importance that all individuals deserve the right to be treated with kindness and respect.

FrontLine staff and board were proud to represent a table at The City Club of Cleveland's "We Can End Unsheltered Homelessness Today" forum last Friday. This forum featured Chris Knestrick, Executive Director of the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless (NEOCH), who shared his personal story of how he came to be involved in the work of homelessness and our community’s role in the work of homelessness.

“Housing justice will not arrive because someone gives it to us. It comes because ordinary people decide that their neighbors, all of us, especially in our greatest time of need, deserve a home. Housing justice will come when we get organized and when we refuse to stop until it becomes a reality.” – Chris Knestrick.

Our Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program got a little shoutout during this forum, highlighting FrontLine’s role in supporting veterans experiencing homelessness in Cuyahoga, Lake, and Ashtabula Counties.

Our staff live at the heart of fulfilling FrontLine’s mission – they are the ones who show up for our clients every single day, in times of crisis, in times of celebration, and through all the mundane but important tasks of daily life. We recently celebrated some significant work anniversary milestones and are so thankful for their time, skills, and dedication to our clients. Please join us in expressing our gratitude to the following FrontLiners who have given over a decade of their careers in service of our mission!

We are excited to share that our Care Response program, a health-first alternative to emergency responses for mental health and addiction crises, has expanded to serve all of Cuyahoga County. Care Response sends a team consisting of a licensed mental health professional and a peer support specialist (an individual with lived experience of mental illness and/or addiction who is living in recovery) to respond to non-violent mental health and substance use crises. They arrive in a clearly marked vehicle, do not use sirens or flashing lights, and are unarmed.

This countywide expansion follows a successful pilot project in two Cleveland zip codes, launched in partnership with the (Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services) ADAMHS Board of Cuyahoga County.

Care Response is available every day from 8AM – 11:30PM across Cuyahoga County. You can access Care Response by dialing 988. Pictured here are the FrontLine staff who are part of the Care Response team.
