Our Philosophy
When the Soul is healed, Life improves.
THE CRISIS
The Crisis is Real
Cincinnati's homeless population is significant and growing, with recent estimates in 2024 showing over 6,000 people experiencing homelessness, including a concerning rise in unsheltered individuals and homeless students.
Stagnant low wages, rising rent, and high cost of living (inflation) are all contributing factors to the homelessness crisis. In late 2025, over 4,300 students in Cincinnati Public Schools faced housing instability.
People are truly hurting. The need is great. People have been marginalized and disenfranchised.
"The greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
This philosophy emphasizes resilience and perseverance—the foundation of everything we do at Newformation.
OUR COMMITMENT
Walking Together
We believe that life was not meant to be lived alone. This means:
We are to walk alongside other people through the various seasons of life.
We should never abandon people when life gets hard.
This is why our non-profit organization, Newformation, designs and recommends an individualized pathway the client will follow to enable them to get themselves back on track.
