In the beginning of April, OCI, in partnership with Campus District Inc., the City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and NEOCH, with funding from The Covid-19 Rapid Response fund, United Way of Greater Cleveland, and the Sisters of Charity Foundation, placed 10 portable toilets at sites located in Ohio City and the Downtown area.

These units are part of a the ongoing efforts to slow the spread of COIVD-19, and will provide a place for anyone in need of a restroom facility to use the restroom in a sanitary way. Each unit has a sink inside the unit for handwashing, and will be cleaned, sanitized, and sterilized on a daily basis. This initial phase of the program represents $60,000 of foundation support to provide safe and sanitary facilities for marginalized populations.
