Home Is The Foundation

Home Is The Foundation (H.I.T. Foundation), located at 111 W Somers St in Eaton, provides housing and homelessness services in Preble County. Its Homeless Services program includes homelessness prevention, rapid rehousing, and an emergency shelter offering temporary housing and support for individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis.

The Homeless Crisis Response Program is designed to help prevent homelessness and support movement from emergency shelter into permanent housing. It may provide financial assistance to help households obtain and manage affordable housing and strengthen self-sufficiency. Visit the foundation’s homeless services page for current program details.

The foundation also operates a Senior Home Repair Program for income-eligible Preble County seniors, supporting critical repairs and accessibility improvements such as ramps and handrails. It owns and manages affordable rental properties throughout the county and provides links to local housing, utility, legal, and financial-assistance resources.
