Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses
Agency History
In 1961, Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses (SHNH) agency was founded through the merger of Cincinnati's West End Findlay Street Neighborhood House and East End Riverview Neighborhood House. In the years to follow, the agency expanded services to Lincoln Heights. SHNH facilities and services are now open and available a minimum of 5 days per week providing a one-stop resource for the youth, families, and the elderly in the communities the agency serves.
Your support is vital as we work as a community, through multiple sectors such as schools, parents, youth, business, faith-based organizations, and the media to improve the quality of lives of our neighbors.
Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses, in its 47th years of service, continues to provide support services to children, families and individuals. Seven Hills provides support services to help families meet their basic needs and develop skills necessary to become self-sufficient. Program sites include Findlay Street Neighborhood House in the West End, Senior Services in Lincoln Heights, School Based Services at Hays School in the West End, Riverview East Academy in the East End, and Supplemental Educational Services in College Hill.
As a partner in the communities we serve, we are dedicated to improving the quality of life of our neighbors.

Provide a safe haven for youth to access services for academic and personal goals for 150 children and youth.
Snacks and 3 meals each day provided to children and youth during the summer months.

The Rotary Club of Cincinnati selected Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses as the organization to be served through their new members project. The Findlay Street Teen Center received a total overhaul from the ceiling to the floor.

Thank you Rotary Club of Cincinnati!!!
The Findlay Street Boxing Program has been re-opened and operating for a little over a year. Our boxers have been competing in tournaments across the city and region and have been successful. We had first and second place finishes in May. Next month, 8 of our boxers will compete in the Ohio State Fair Boxing Tournament.

In 2007 and 2008 Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses was able to provide 90 full scholarships to children and youth from the West End and surrounding communities. For the past three years, the summer camp employed 30 West End Youth. The Findlay Street Summer Day Camp has served West End families for 20 years. With your support, we will continue to provide this greatly needed service. .
The camp ensures a safe environment that nurtures the development and growth of many disadvantaged children. Campers receive 3 nutritious meals each day, attend weekly field trips, and participate in weekly classes in music, nutrition, dance, gardening, knitting & crocheting, and math & reading. The cost for camp is $400 per child (less than $10 a day).
