Welcome to the TEMPORARY website for Medina Creative Housing!

Welcome to Medina Creative Housing, where we create special homes for special people.

Medina Creative Housing was formed in 1992 by a group of parents with children with disabilities, MCH is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization run by an eleven member Board of Trustees who serves on a voluntary basis and is managed by an Executive Director.

MCH strives to avoid crisis housing management.  In the alternative, MCH proactively works with families to encourage eary planning and timely transitioning of adult children with disabilities into independent housing designed and/or adapted to meet their child's individual housing needs.  Please contact us to learn more about what we have to offer.

Our Mission
The mission of Medina Creative Housing, Inc. is to acquire, adapt, and manage permanent, affordable homes for persons with mental retardation, physical and developmental disabilities living in Medina County.

MCH believes that all people deserve a home of their own, and individuals with disabilities are no different.  It is a challenging goal because while these adults deserve and benefit from as much independence as possible, at the same time, they require differing levels of protection, support and security.  MCH homes enable adults with disabilities to live independently in a comfortable, safe neighborhood setting in a home adapted for them while receiving the necessary levels of support for health and safety.

Our Vision
With several hundred mentally retarded, physically and developmentally disabled Medina County residents with an immediate or future need for independent housing, Medina Creative Housing's vision is clear -- to develop the resouces to create independent housing options for ALL the special-needs citizens of Medina County who long for a place of their own.

Our Goal
Many families are not fully aware of the options available for their children with disabilites as they grow into adulthood.  Many parents believe that the only real option is to have their child with a disability continue to live at home, but often this is not in the best interest of the child or parent, especially as parents grow older themselves.  MCH is committed to helping families plan for their child's present and future housing needs.  Creating additional affordable and appropriate housing for special-needs individuals is a critical issue in Medina County, Ohio today.  There are over 300 disabled individuals on the waiting list in Medina County to secure appropriate housing.  Homes owned and maintained by MCH are one of the few available options and our goal is to increase the number of homes that can be matched with those in need.

"I like having my own place - my neighbors and roommate are nice.  I live near the center of town so it's easy to walk to work and to the grocery store."  Amy Yeigh, MCH Resident
