Project Exartizo
Equipped to thrive.
A community nonprofit serving Cuyahoga County and beyond.
Mission & community
To equip, empower, and elevate our neighbors through compassionate care, practical resources, and trusted relationships. Based in Brooklyn, Ohio, Project Exartizo serves Greater Cleveland through community relationships and bilingual access.
Our vision
Communities across Cuyahoga County and beyond where a difficult season does not define a person’s future, and every neighbor has the support and opportunity to build the life they choose.
Our commitment to the community
Everyone is welcome, whatever your background or beliefs. Each program has its own intake process, schedule, and availability.

- Health, Healing & Mobility: Medical care, counseling, equipment loans, hospital and hospice visits supporting mind, body, and spirit, and help with services and funerals after infant loss. Trauma care coming soon.
- Advocacy & Life Navigation: Transportation coordination, help navigating systems, limited English and Spanish interpretation, legal referrals, domestic violence resource connections, and household assistance.
