A year ago, in March 2023, Cuyahoga County released a strategic plan to best combat growing rates of homelessness exacerbated in wake of the global pandemic. Among the call for outreach workers and more affordable homes, the report clocked a goal for 2028: to house 500 more.
The shelter, built in a collaboration between Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry and Cuyahoga County, adds 113 more beds to tackle Cleveland's homelessness spike
On Tuesday, the county seemingly stepped a bit closer to hitting its mark when it cut the ribbon on 2020 Lakeside Avenue, a brand new building intended as a sibling operation to the next-door men's shelter at 2100, which Cuyahoga County has been overseeing in partnership with the Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry for almost two decades.
Most of 2020's beds are bunked, and grouped in a very open room setting. Most have just one or two lockers. Some walls are color-coded, a county employee said, to help those with mental deficiencies find their beds.
