2100 Lakeside Men's Homeless Shelter - Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry

On January 1, 2005 Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry began administering the men's shelter at 2100 Lakeside Avenue in Cleveland. The shelter serves up to 350 men per night with an additional 30-60 beds available as needed at partner provider overflow sites. The staff offers hope while providing tangible services for men in transition and in crisis. Six communities within the shelter address men's individual journeys, providing appropriate supports along the way: Entry, Decision, Transformation, Work, Partnership, Service.

Many social service partners provide both on and off-site services to address specific issues which increase resident self-sufficiency. The majority of funding is provided by Cuyahoga County, City of Cleveland, Veterans' Administration, FEMA, and HUD. Individuals, churches, organizations and businesses provide financial and in-kind support.
