What Catholic Charities Of Southwestern Ohio (inc) does

Catholic Charities of Southwestern Ohio (CCSWO) is a private not-for-profit social services organization founded in 1916 and operating as the social service arm of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, with additional affiliation to Catholic Charities USA. It delivers a broad portfolio of human services across 11 counties in southwestern Ohio (Hamilton, Butler, Clermont, Warren, Brown, Adams, Highland, Clinton, Champaign, Logan, and Clark) from five office locations, mobile food pantries, and embedded school sites, serving nearly 24,000 people in 2025. Core programs include refugee resettlement, immigration legal services, mental health counseling, caregiver support, food assistance, parenting education, ESOL classes, employment services, post-adoption services, and the AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs; sub-brands Su Casa Hispanic Center, AccuracyNow Language Services, and Food for All extend the service mix. The organization is CARF International accredited for Mental Health and Administrative services and is a designated refugee resettlement affiliate under USCCB and the U.S. Department of State.

The business model is a hybrid nonprofit revenue structure with no proprietary technology platform. Revenue streams comprise individual and corporate donations (including the One Faith, One Hope, One Love campaign), federal and state government grants and contracts (AmeriCorps Seniors, Ohio Department of Children and Youth, U.S. Department of State refugee resettlement), United Way funding (Butler County United Way and United Way of Greater Cincinnati), and nominal program service fees (Parent Education Class at $80 per participant; TEFAP-guided free food assistance; free parenting classes for Butler County residents). Distribution is community-led, relying on direct service at offices, school-embedded mental health, mobile food pantries, home visits for seniors and refugees, and referral networks through parishes, schools, and community partners. Operational scale is anchored by 83,000 AmeriCorps service hours in 2024, 308 children served by Foster Grandparents, 148 seniors receiving in-home support, and 91% of seniors showing improved independent living.

The organization is in a period of mixed strategic momentum. Offensively, it launched the Kindred Companions parish-based senior program in 2025, expanded Family Development Services into four additional counties with state funding, and secured new private foundation grants to grow clinical mental health capacity. Defensively, it paused its refugee resettlement program for the first time in its history in response to federal immigration policy changes and only narrowly avoided shuttering AmeriCorps Seniors programs when federal funding was restored. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors chaired by Lucy Davila-Soto, with Tony Stieritz as CEO and Ross Hallman as CFO.
