Miami Valley Housing Opportunities

What Miami Valley Housing Opportunities does

Miami Valley Housing Opportunities (MVHO) is a non-profit housing organization founded in 1991 that provides permanent supportive housing and homeless outreach services to vulnerable citizens in Montgomery County, Ohio. The organization serves individuals experiencing homelessness, people with disabilities, those reentering from incarceration, and individuals in recovery from substance use disorders. MVHO operates a portfolio of owned housing properties including River Commons II (83 one-bedroom apartments), General Franklin (38 units on the VA campus), Restoration Housing (50+ units), Key Terrace, New Hope Villa, and Ohio Commons, and is developing Beacon Place Village as an upcoming project.

MVHO's service portfolio spans street outreach programs (PATH, Streetlink), intensive case management (SLATE 9-month program), the mobile PROJECT CLEAN hygiene unit, the Beyond the Walls reentry program for individuals being released homeless from Montgomery County jail, rental assistance, and tenant support services. The Opportunity Center at 907 West Fifth Street — a historic 1928 former YMCA listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2026 — serves as MVHO's headquarters and houses multiple nonprofit tenants. The organization does not rely on proprietary technology; its core capability is property management, case management, and community-based service delivery.

MVHO's revenue model is grant- and donation-dependent rather than market-priced. Funding sources include government grants (ADAMHS of Montgomery County for recovery housing oversight, FHLB Cincinnati Affordable Housing Program, National Park Service African American Civil Rights grants), corporate and foundation grants (Fifth Third Bank, Molina Healthcare Charitable Foundation, The Dayton Foundation), and individual and community donations. Services are delivered to clients based on vulnerability and eligibility rather than pricing. The organization is led by CEO Debbie Watts Robinson, with a Board of Trustees governance structure, and operates as a BBB Accredited Charity.

Emerging players

• Rebuilding Together Dayton: Dayton-based nonprofit focused on home rehabilitation for low-income homeowners. Adjacent housing mission, partial overlap in property-renovation work (e.g., MVHO's Restoration Housing project), and shared regional donor base.
