Welcome To the Khnemu Foundation

The Khnemu Transitional Leadership Homes were created to provide safe and stable housing to men and women returning from incarceration, as well as juveniles aging out of detention centers who demonstrate transformation. Our homes include leadership training and community service for all occupants for the purpose of developing community leaders that will serve the community.

Khnemu Foundation's Get Ohio Working program aims at improving the quality of life for all residents across Ohio, with a particular focus on returning citizens by empowering them with work opportunities through partnerships with various 2nd Chance Employers and agencies who give back and understand the benefits of hiring Returning Citizens. We find work for those having difficulty finding work.

Every week, the group landscapes an entire block of homes in an effort to beautify Cleveland and restore community engagement between neighbors and residents.
