My friend Dale is a recovering addict. He tells me that poor black folks ain't nothing but a moneymaker for white folks. He says, "They always find a way to cash in off us." Case in point. The Emerald Development and Economic Network. Irene Collins Executive Director. White. Check. Elaine Gimmel Chief Operating Officer. White. Check. Christopher West Chief Financial Officer. White. Check. Jacqueline Witkiewicz Controller. White. Check. Jennifer Griffin Director of Housing Programs. White. Check. Check. CHECK
EDEN, E.I.N 34-1667990, runs their scam operations on the fiscal office homepage under 27 different variations of Emerald Development and Economic Network. THAT'S 27. And that's NOT counting the 10 Limited Partnership with their BFF the Cleveland Housing Network for the Heroin Hotels. AND a couple of LLCs. And WHY is that? Why so many variations on a theme all spelling tax fraud. Can't anyone spell? Or is it to make it much harder to trace their holdings perhaps. But I persisted.Oh by the way I have to fill out a DIFFERENT DTE23B for EACH school district being cheated out of property taxes by EDEN. According to the Ohio Department of Tax Equalization. Who were super SUPER helpful! So here they are. The MANY FRAUDULENT GREEDY SLIPPERY property tax cheating faces of EDEN. MANY DTE 23Bs to fill out with extensive attachments. Giving evidence of the original Articles of Incorporation from 12/12/1990 and the 2 amended ones from 2004 and 2014 where ALL MENTION of on site services is dropped. THE ON SITE SERVICES is the ONLY reason they got the Land Use 6800 in the first place.
The Many Many Names on the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office page of the Tax Cheat EDEN. The greedy despicable EDEN taking $30 million dollars from hard working Americans WHO PAY TAXES through HUD slush funds and refuse to pay a SINGLE PENNY back to the taxpayers. AND the school children deprived of much needed funds. Like $5 MILLION per year EDEN is keeping in their own pocket. Here are ALL the names of TAX FRAUD EDEN.

So many different aliases. NOT an accident but a very deliberate, conscious effort to mislead and to hide the massive tax fraud. Any self-respecting felon will tell you, the more aliases you use, the longer it will take to get caught. BUT they will ALSO tell you everybody gets caught eventually if they keep on doing what they're doing.
And EDEN has been doing what they've been doing for over 25 years, defrauding Cuyahoga County of millions of dollars in property tax revenue. Which Cuyahoga County's broke ass cannot afford. On the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office page they have used the above aliases and MORE. But the one common denominator for ALL the EDEN aliases is the mailing address 7812 Madison Cleveland 44102, Tax Fraud Central.
When they filed their ORIGINAL Articles of Confederation filed with the Ohio Secretary of State on December 12, 1990, EDEN owned one legitimate group home with on site mental health services and communal meals for mentally challenged adults for which they were granted the Land Use 6800 property tax exemption. AND ALSO the IRS Activity Code F33 "residential mental health treatment". Then Kathryn Kazol took over EDEN in late 1991 and said fuck that! That's way too much work. Let's call ourselves a charity and just manipulate HUD into giving us Section 8 vouchers, and buy up properties with free money from the government we can use them on. This is not your grandfather's charity where individuals gave money out of their own free will. This is a fake charity whose entire budget $30 million comes from YOUR TAX DOLLARS courtesy of HUD. And Kathryn Kazol started accumulating properties through gifts and "mortgages" from various government giveaway programs that didn't have to be paid back. Under her "leadership" Kazol totally changed what EDEN does. The mental health services and paid health care professionals and mental health professionals were flung aside. The straight up Section 8 rent collection era was born.
The original group home for mentally disabled adults was de-activated so to speak and sold off. And Kathryn Kazol began her meglomanical goal of accumulating a vast TOTALLY TAX FREE real estate empire. FRAUD for fun and "non" profit.The most recent assessed value of this empire is $35 MILLION, ALL FINANCED WITH YOUR TAX DOLLARS, purchased through free mortgages from HUD, funds funneled through various federal, state and local "community" "development" money laundering operations. 100% of EDEN tenants are classified as "disabled" and are NOT employed. So ALL the rent is paid through one goobermint agency or another. HUD, Social Security disability, Social Security Supplemental Income pay the way over market rate rent ALL TAX FREE just funneled into EDEN's account. No worries about rent collection. It's all guaranteed by our totally bankrupt federal government.
EDEN has changed their Articles of Incorporation with the state of Ohio TWICE, in 2004 and again in 2014. They "transitioned" from a provider of services to mentally disabled adults to a provider AND DEVELOPER of Section 8 HUD housing. YUUUUGE DIFFERENCE! BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY DELIBERATELYFAILED TO NOTIFYTHE STATE OF OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION AND THE CUYAHOGA COUNTY FISCAL OFFICE! AND WOW JUST WOW! THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY THE IRS EITHER.According to their 2016 IRS Guidestar profile, they are STILL using IRS NTEE CODE F33 Residential Mental Health Treatment And they don't even pretend to do that anymore. I’m going to give the IRS a call and get a copy of EDEN’s 1023 form. You know where they SAY the qualify for code F 33. It’s public information!! BUT if they change their NTEE code to something that actually reflects what they REALLY do like L20 Housing Development used by CHN like it WOULD raise a BIG RED FLAG! And they would lose their Cuyahoga County property tax exemption.
Imagine if you own a church and decide to turn it into a bar and don't tell the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office of a change in Land Use. That's basically what EDEN did. EDEN is a Section 8 property owner. Period. They have ZERO Residential Mental Health Treatment centers in their over $35 million property portfolio. Now I know they don't have any on staff mental health professionals. Or medical professionals or drug counsellors. But don't they pay a tax attorney or two to check over this? And what about the Board??? EDEN owns properties ranging from 1 bedroom condos in Rocky River and Lakewood to giant apartment complexes in Berea to commercial buildings on Kinsman to laudromats to funeral homes on Buckeye (which they recently sold). And the MOST LUCRATIVE property tax exempt cash cows of ALL: the shiny new LIHTC financed Heroin Hotels they own with CHN. How weird that the ONLY Heroin Hotel CHN owns with Famicos at 1850 Superior PAYS $10,000 in property taxes. That's because Famicos isn't part of this monumentalFRAUD.
EDEN has owned properties they totally neglected which had to be demoed at taxpayers expense. But it's all good because they didn't pay for them. WE THETAXPAYERSDID. 99% of the properties in their vast empire is FRAUDULENTLY classified as Homes for the Aged land use code 6800. In the case of the funeral home it was Homes for the Very Aged. They scam over $25 million per year from HUD according to their IRS 990 for scoring 3072 Section 8 vouchers worth $18 million over HALF of which are used by tenants in PROPERTIES THEY OWN. Not only THAT but 47% of their tenants are OVERHOUSED which in HUDSPEAK means the taxpayers are paying for a unit LARGERthan the tenant is entitled to.MORE FRAUD!! EDEN employs 168 paper pushers and various "directors" and "managers" but no professional medical staff, social workers or drug counselors. By contrast with a budget of $25 million (FIVE MILLION LESS THAN THE CORRUPT EDEN) AND WITH NO FUNDS FROM HUD, Koinonia Homes (which has always had only ONE name and merits a GOLD STAR on Guidestar) employs 737 people, 550 MORE than EDEN and include many professionals certified, social workers, mental health counselors, medical staff, to assist their mentally challenged residents lead productive meaningful positive lives. In over 40 years Koinonia Homes has stayed true to their original mission which is to provide housing AND SERVICES to mentally challenged adults. EDEN got tired of the service part LONG AGO and now just collect millions of tax free dollars in the form of very lucrative HUD Section 8 vouchers. Private landlords who accept a tenant with an EDEN Section 8 voucher DO have to pay property taxes. And federal, state AND city taxes too.WHY DOESN'T EDEN? Private landlords ALSO have to file rental disclosures. But the overpaid EDEN "directors" are so busy virtue signalling they have no time or interest in THAT. So 99% of EDEN's 110 Section 8 rental properties (over 1100 total units) have NORENTAL DISCLOSURES on file. CMHA has a system of offering Section 8 vouchers through a lottery system which is only open every few years and there are strict rules for applying to be considered when the waiting list is open. EDEN has a special system for their 3072 vouchers. They had them out ONLY to unemployed drug addicts. That way they NEVER have to worry about rent collection if a poor struggling WORKING tenant can't pay their share of the rent. And ALSO they post political messages on their properties even though they are prohibited from engaging in political activity. Only concerned about the $$$$$$$ they get from HUD, EDEN leaves their mentally challenged residents free to use drugs or whatever else they do with no supervision or assistance from their staff. The executive director makes over $250,000 per year and at the end of the work day she escapes to her ALL WHITE enclave in Concord Township far far away from the neighborhoods where the residents of the properties she "manages" wreak havoc. University Heights wasn't far enough or white enough apparently for her majesty. Trying to pass herself off as the reincarnation of Jane Addams in reality she is the 2nd coming of LEONA HELMSLEY.
Time's up. Filing the DTE 23B right now. Enough is ENOUGH.
Now REALLY. Does anyone think the following properties are Homes for the Aged? Property Tax Exempt land use code 6800 fyi. 24 properties with a value, according to the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office of, are you ready....$2,612,300. And this is just the single family and 2 Family Homes that EDEN owns. I'm just getting started here. Some of them are in very good neighborhoods. NOT as good as Concord township of course. But pretty good for the average struggling Cuyahoga County property tax payer, whose taxes subsidize this tax exempt fraud.

Oh yeah and then there's the vacant lot at 4058 Walter Road in North Olmsted that once contained a 5BR 2BA house. Purchased by EDEN in 1994 for $115,000 an all CASH transaction! It was totally trashed by the Section 8 EDEN residents and EDEN tried unsuccessfully to sell it for $60,000 in 2016. OF COURSE it was a 6800 Tax Exempt Home for the Aged. From 1994 until 2017. Now it's a vacant lot. Razed in 2017. And EDEN requested a change in Land Use from 6800 to 5000 which is the land use code for a vacant residential lot. And NOW EDEN is paying taxes on the lot. $2578.70 per year as of 2017. It is kind of hard to claim a vacant lot is a Home for the Aged. But something is definitely up. I'm pretty sure they won't be building homeless housing in North Olmsted. Almost as unlikely as plopping down a Heroin Hotel in Concord Township.
And like I said this is ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE LIST. Apartment complexes, suburban condos and townhouses, COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS still to come. And of course the very lucrative Heroin Hotels they own with their BFFs at CHN crime partners. Stay tuned.
23 FRAUDULENT CLASSIFIED HOMES FOR THE AGED LAND USE 6800 apartment buildings from Lakewood to Euclid total value $3,688,700 owned by EDEN under one of its many aliases. All tenants using Section 8. EDEN pays NO TAX!

So there you have it. 23 property tax EXEMPT "Homes for the Aged". 160 units.
Next up the suburban condos and townhouse Homes for the Aged. Owned by EDEN. Filled with Section 8 tenants on SSI.
The sad unfashionable condos built badly in the mid 60's located in inner ring 'burbs are not worth much a mere $826,900. EDEN has actually filed rental disclosures for 8. The other 12? NOT FILED. Weird right. They are ALL rentals. And Ron O'Leary is going to be checking and FINING starting soon. BUT even WEIRDER and MORE REVEALING that the "brain trust" at EDEN knows they are committing massive tax fraud is that TWO of the units are actually classified correctly: Land Use 5500. Residential townhouse. Which is how they ALL should be classified. Throwing the County a few crumb$ as Nancy Pelosi would say. To keep them off the tax exempt scent.
Exhibit A: 25735 Lorain Unit 119 1 BR 1BA North Olmsted purchased by EDEN in 2000 was fraudulently classified as a Home for the Aged Tax Exempt Land Use 6800 from 2000 until 2012 when SUDDENLY without warning it was changed to Land Use 5500. Valued at $19,000 the taxes annually are $620.06. AND it has filed a rental disclosure. BUT right upstairs on the elevator is 25735 Lorain Unit 524 AND it is classified as a Home for the Aged Tax Exempt Land Use 6800. That really is a clue, a DEAD GIVEAWAY. Oh and Unit 524? No rental disclosure has been filed. And this one is valued at $50,400
And Unit 11 at 5370 Lee Rd. a 1BR 1BA condo, is classified at 5500 residential townhome valued at $15,200. Annual taxes $711. No rental disclosure though. Why bother? Who cares really right.
So the rest. Starting with the ones WITH rental disclosures
21881 River Oaks Unit C2 Rocky River 2BR 1BA condo Value $40,000
22071 River Oaks Unit A10 Rocky River 2BR 1BA condo Value $40,000

13829 Cedar Unit C15 South Euclid 1 BR condo Value $47,000
13833 Cedar Unit 10J South Euclid 1 BR condo Value $48,200
NO RENTAL DISCLOSURES FOR THESE BAD BOYS. Calling Ron O'Leary
23831 David Dr. North Olmsted 2BR 1BA condo Value $53,300
14567 Madison Unit 211 Lakewood 1 BR 1 BA condo Value $28,600

521 Kenwood Euclid 2BR 1BA condo Value $37,400
13829 Cedar Unit 103C 1BR 1BA condo Value $45,000
4510 Granada Unit 10 Warrensville Heights 3BR 1 1/2 BA condo Value $48,700
4510 Granada Unit 2 Warrensville Heights 2BR 1 1/2 BA condo Value $45,200
4480 Granada Unit 11 Warrensville Heights 2BR 1BA condo Value $45,200
Oh and 4510 Granada Unit 8 Warrensville Heights no longer exists. No permit for a demolition was issued. Did we the people pay for the demo? Maybe it housed a meth lab that blew up.
Unfashionable condos from the 60's total value $826,900. Property taxes collected $1330
So EDEN owns seven commercial buildings. That's right. Property tax exempt Cuyahoga County Land Use 6800 Homes for the Aged, IRS Activity Code F33 "residential mental health living environments in community based facilities...who require a structured supervised treatment program" COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. WTF????!!!!
With a tax value of $2,863,000. Now these properties need to be seriously checked out. It's VERY HARD to get a real idea of what's going on without a field trip to the addresses. So much subterfuge from the white folks. In charge. Because really. Come on.
1502 E 118th 44106 it WAS a school. Now?? Value $192,100
7813-7823 Madison 44102 storefronts and upstairs apartments. Storefronts advertised call Diana Holly at EDEN 216-634-0178 Value $169,700
7812-14 Madison 44102. 5 office buildings. 17,469 total square feet. Built in 1900. But no owner prior to EDEN who got ALL the building on New Year's Day 2000. For $0. Value $692,000.
15111 Lorain 44111. Offices? Laundromat? Value $220,900
2219-27 Payne. EDEN owned Women's Shelter handed off to Frontline Services to "manage". They failed. Total chaos. EDEN brags about it on their web site. Time for a reality check for the white folks. In charge. Value $547,200. CHECK THIS OUT. Cuyahoga County OWNS the Men's Shelter at 2100 Lakeside. So how much fraudulently property tax exempt RENT is Cuyahoga County paying EDEN for 2219 Payne the Norma Herr Women's Shelter. Just rent. Because as always EDEN DOES WHAT THEY DO BEST. ABSOLUTELYNOTHING EXCEPT CASH THE RENT CHECKS. INTHIS CASEFROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY. FOR$226,424 in 2016 ANDTHEY DON'T EVEN MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY. AND WHY ISN'T THAT STRICTLY RENTAL INCOME TAXABLE. REMIND ME WHY NOT?? ANYONE??? THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HAVE ANY ANSWERS FROM HER HOME IN CONCORD TOWNSHIP? I talked to some of the women outside. Broken toilets, cold showers, bedbugs and roaches, no air conditioning. And the taxpayers of Cuyahoga County GIVE them $226,424 FORTHAT!! It WAS managed by Frontline Service and they were FIRED by Cuyahoga County. Property Tax EXEMPT and in horrible disrepair. Like most of EDEN'S Tax Exempt Land Use code 6800 slums.
13407 Kinsman. Handed over to EDEN by Mt. Pleasant Now!. Maybe the worst of all the HUD scamming CDCs. Who knew there was a huge need for Uncle Sam to hand out cash for a commercial building on Kinsman. Has anyone been over there lately. Value $772,300
If the Justice Dept and FBI is NOT investigating CHN-Eden for collusion and racketeering - your paper should be. Cuyahoga County pays RENT to Eden for the Norma Herr Center. I want you to know that Cuyahoga County and city officials are well aware of the fraud conducted on part of both agencies and Cuyahoga County Land Bank to demo and construct Emerald Alliance XI at 3873-3881 W 25 St. Residents have been documenting this fraud at REALNEO.us.

Really THIS is just amazing. These Section 8 buildings built with your tax dollars rent paid with your tax dollars SSI checks from your tax dollars PAY NOT ONE CENT IN TAXES. Not federal, not state of Ohio, not City of Cleveland. Not even property taxes. What a despicable scam. Refer to ORC 5709.13 the definition of a home for the aged. The "directors" of CHN Crime Partners and EDEN need to go back to skool. ALL CLASSIFIED AS HOMES FOR THE AGED LAND USE CODE 6800. They share the massive tax exempt revenue with CHN Partners in Crime. And POOR FAMICOS. Their Heroin Hotel, also operated with CHN Partners in Crime, the lowliest of them, valued at a paltry $890,800 PAYS $10,000 in property taxes for 40 renovated units in an old building. Someone needs to give John Anoliefo a heads up. CNH top brass. Rob Curry.white. check. Kathy Urban Monter. white. check. Pat Kenney. white. check. John Anoliefo African. Looks like my friend Dale is right.
For comparison, these randomly selected NON EDEN low income apartment buildings pay the following in property taxes. The owners of these buildings would probably be VERY VERY interested in hearing about how EDEN has been defrauding the county of millions and millions in property taxes over the last 25 plus years, while they have dutifully been paying what they owe the county.
5125 Hector Cleveland 44127 owned by Alexia Manor,50 units annual property taxes $35,549
4733 Lee Road Rd 44128 owned by Lee Miles Senior Citizen Housing, 80 units, annual property taxes $55,344
3843 Payne Ave 44114 owned by Asian Evergreen Housing 43 units annual property taxes $36,544
AND 7520 Woodland Cleveland 44104 owned by Mt. Sinai Housing Development Corporation, 60 units, annual property taxes.....$74,952. And for the record the residents of this building have access to many services on site.
Based on the taxes paid by the honest law abiding building owners above, EDEN would owe approximately $420,000 on the Heroin Hotels ALONE! PER YEAR
So here they are. EDEN/CHN owned Land Use Code 6800 Homes for the Aged Heroin Hotels. Property tax EXEMPT.

And there's another one located at 4175 East 131st. It's named after a well known dog abuser Inez Killingsworth. The address on the fiscal office page is E 131 and Miles, parcel #13811160. I had to drive over there to get the actual address. BUT CHECK THIS OUT ....ALERT ALERT NEW INFORMATION. THIS PROPERTYHAS HAD THE LAND USE CODE CHANGED FROM 4000 -COMMERCIAL VACANT LOT- TO LAND USE 4070-apartments with 40 or more units with elevator! NOT Land USE 6800 Home for the AgedTHIS PROVES THEY KNOW THEYHAVE BEEN COMMITTING FRAUD. 100 buildings, 1200 units to go! It's ONLY valued at $321,700 when the REAL value is probably about $5 million BUT. It's NOT a Home for the Aged. So the total value of the 7 "Homes for the Aged" is....$18,374,400. And if I estimate the value of 7702 Madison and 10022 St. Clair let's add another $5 million for a grand total value of $23,374,400. TICK TICK TICKATICKA TICKA BOOM
EDEN is CUYAHOGA COUNTY'S ALL TIME PROPERTY TAX CHEAT. With a budget of $30 million OF TAX DOLLARS STOLEN FROM WORKING AMERICANS.THAT'S THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS. And they proudly and arrogantly steal books and pencils from the struggling impoverished children in school districts of Cuyahoga County by scamming the school districts out of AT LEAST 2 MILLION PER YEAR in unpaid property taxes. They take $30 MILLION from taxpayers through HUD and ALL THEY DO is hand out 3000 Section 8 vouchers HUD gives them, over 1000 to properties THEY OWN. Not ONE SINGLE TENANT in their properties IS EMPLOYED. They GIVE NOTHING BACK. They not ONLY DO NOT PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE they pay absolutely NOTHING. Their staff of "managers" and paper pushers number ONLY 162 with that HUGE BUDGET and no professional social workers, drug counselors, mental health workers or medical staff. And they REFUSE to pay any taxes. The directorette swans around passing herself off as the 2nd coming of Jane Addams. IN REALITY SHE’S THE REINCARNATION OF LEONA HELMSLEY. Koinonia Homes on the other hand has a budget of $26 million and 750 employees, MANY of whom are trained professionals to help mentally challenged adults. So what exactly is EDEN doing with ALL that money. WHERE IS ALLTHE MONEY EDEN GETS FROM HUD GOING ANYWAY?
FYI to Leona Helmsley Junior: Definition of Homes for the Aged Land Use 6800 ORC 5701.13 Section A 2 " "Residential care facility means A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY ....THAT PROVIDES ACCOMODATION SUPERVISION AND PERSONAL CARE SERVICES FOR THREE TO SIXTEEN UNRELATED ADULTS" not "providing housing solutions to people facing the challenges of insecurities and homelessness" with OUR tax dollars.
There are many many low income housing providers and NONE of them are property tax exempt, like the despicable EDEN. Like for example CHN and Famicos who pay property taxes on their properties. All the bullshit "advocating" and housing opportunities and programs of financial and other types of HOUSING ASSISTANCE" EDEN throws around on their IRS tax forms and their web site do not qualify for Land Use 6800. If there's any confusion about the difference between handing out Section 8 vouchers handed over from HUD to PROPERTIES YOU OWN and a residential care facility Land Use 6800 I suggest you check with Koinonia Homes.Who operate strictly within the definition of Land Use 6800 and have with DISTINCTION for over 40 years. With WAY LESS MONEY and 600 more employees than EDEN. Again I ask WHERE IS THAT $30 MILLION GOING??
The Emerald Development and Economic Network and all its other 26 names is utterly shameless. Mrs. Helmsley Jr. the executive director "only the little people pay taxes" is panhandling for funds on their award winning website. For a generator for the Women's Shelter. The shelter was handed over to EDEN FOR FREE. AND she gets $226,424 PER YEAR IN PROPERTY TAX EXEMPT RENT from Cuyahoga County. That's JUST RENT. AND ALL the services are provided by ANOTHER agency....right now the Y for which the county pays ANOTHER $2 million. Let's just stop RIGHT NOW with this charade the EDEN is a charity. They get $30 million TAX FREE dollars from HUD. And they can't buy a generator. Please. Plus the "maintenance" of the shelter is a disgrace. I guess that $226,424 from the county is just slip sliding into a swiss bank account. And what ever became of Kathryn Kazol the architect of this obscene fraud. She retired and vanished without a trace.
For over 20 Catholic Charities Housing Corporation in Cleveland has been providing housing for marginalized, disabled, and otherwise needy residents of Cuyahoga County. They do EXACTLY what the fraudulent tax cheat Emerald Development and Economic Network does with one YUUUUUUUGE difference. THEY ACTUALLY PAY PROPERTY TAXES ON ALL THEIR PROPERTIES. They even own a GROUP HOME which would definitely qualify for the Land Use 6800 property tax exemption and yet they pay $22,872 religiously for THAT one alone. With a budget that is less than 10% of the $30 million EDEN gets from HUD and other government entities AKA OUR TAX DOLLARS, Catholic Charities Housing pays $289,068 in property taxes on just 16 properties. They also provide support services to their residents. And there are many many MANY other low income housing providers in Cuyahoga County including NRP, National Church Residences, Mt. Sinai Apartments, Mt. Hermon Good Samaritan Foundation Home, Light of Hearts Village, St. Vitus Village to name just a few. Could someone please explain to me why THEY shouldn't ALL be getting the same sweetheart property tax exemption Mrs. Leona Helmsley Jr. at EDEN is getting??
CRONY politics at City of Cleveland (Mark Naymik article ) and at Cuyahoga County (Sam Allard article) continues to drag down the potential for real economic development in CLE.

Subject: Re: RE: DSCDO
I should have said 3905 W 20 (Brancatelli's Ward 12)- DSCDO made $7K in one day on transfer. The recent "strategic alliance" of DSCDO and Cudell also raises concern as noted by the Plain Press:
For over three years now - residents have also fought the battle against the shady land deal that DSCDO brokered with CCLB (AGAIN- Tony Brancatelli's ward and HE chairs the Land Bank) to transfer the vacant YMCA to CHN-Eden. CHN-Eden brokered the deal with knowledge that they are fraudulently using tax code 6800 on their PSH housing properties as well as several other properties. Mark Griffin at Cuyahoga County is aware of this issue and has acknowledged
Misappraisal of Property Within Cuyahoga County. The County should correctly and accurately appraise all parcels within the County. You are correct. This is absolutely a County responsibility. Accordingly, we will review these issues and ask the Board of Revision to determine whether parcels have been correctly or incorrectly valued. Although the AIG will look for waste, fraud, abuse or other violations of the County Ethics Code, the AIG does not determine the value of a particular parcel. That process – and appropriate objections and/or appeals – is channeled through the Board of Revision.
NOTE: significant comment by Eric J Brewer: "Cleveland councilmen are notorious for colluding between developers, the Community Development Corporations (CDC's), the housing court judge and the landbanks to use building, housing, fire and police to take properties they want from owners. Housing Court Judge Ronald O'Leary last year told me he was cooperating with federal agents who were investigating the late Judge Ray Pianka. Agents visited him a week before he died. Mayor Frank Jackson's community development department under ex-director, Michael Cosgrove, suddenly resigned about a month before federal agents raided the department and took records. Federal agents are investigating another department and city employee with property connections."
So many white folks helping themselves to our federal tax dollars pretending to help black folks. Michael K. Doud who ALSO lives outside of Cuyahoga County just like Leona Helmsley Collins more precisely at 8168 Walker Drive North Ridgeville has just climbed aboard at the Emerald Development and Economic Fraud Network. He comes from ADAMS where he was the Director of something or other. His position at EDEN remains unclear at this point but at 57 years old he certainly hasn't given up his cushy position to answer the phones. Is Irene "dollar bill" Collins being forced into "retirement" ahead of a massive investigation just like Rob Curry at Cleveland Housing Network Crime Partners? Stay tuned
What if every landlord that took an EDEN certified crazy tenant set up an LLC and claimed the property tax exemption. And btw EDEN inspections do not require the lead test.
EDEN owns the Norma Herr properties and will oversee the development process. The new shelter will offer residents more personal space, including individual bathrooms, a computer lab, lounge areas, a dining space, and a safe courtyard for outdoor enjoyment. The new design aims to provide a healthier and more dignified living experience for those in need of housing. The new building will connect to the original building, which is also undergoing improvements, and will become part of a non-congregate shelter complex with modern amenities and a full array of services for individuals experiencing a housing crisis.
“Today marks a significant milestone in our collective journey to create a high quality, non-congregate shelter," said Elaine Gimmel, Executive Director of EDEN. "This new space is the result of extensive collaboration and commitment. Together, we have learned from past challenges and worked tirelessly to design a space that is not only welcoming and nurturing, but one that truly meets the needs of our community. It reflects our shared vision of dignity and compassion, ensuring that every person who walks through these doors finds safety, support, and hope for the future.”
"Today’s groundbreaking is not just about bricks and mortar—it’s a testament to our community’s commitment to providing safe, dignified, and humane shelter for all,” said Melissa Sirak, Director of the Cuyahoga County Office of Homeless Services. “Together, we are building an environment that fosters support and stability, allowing individuals to focus on their housing plans and long-term stability."

EDEN, E.I.N 34-1667990, runs their scam operations on the fiscal office homepage under 27 different variations of Emerald Development and Economic Network. THAT'S 27. And that's NOT counting the 10 Limited Partnership with their BFF the Cleveland Housing Network for the Heroin Hotels. AND a couple of LLCs. And WHY is that? Why so many variations on a theme all spelling tax fraud. Can't anyone spell? Or is it to make it much harder to trace their holdings perhaps. But I persisted.Oh by the way I have to fill out a DIFFERENT DTE23B for EACH school district being cheated out of property taxes by EDEN. According to the Ohio Department of Tax Equalization. Who were super SUPER helpful! So here they are. The MANY FRAUDULENT GREEDY SLIPPERY property tax cheating faces of EDEN. MANY DTE 23Bs to fill out with extensive attachments. Giving evidence of the original Articles of Incorporation from 12/12/1990 and the 2 amended ones from 2004 and 2014 where ALL MENTION of on site services is dropped. THE ON SITE SERVICES is the ONLY reason they got the Land Use 6800 in the first place.
The Many Many Names on the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office page of the Tax Cheat EDEN. The greedy despicable EDEN taking $30 million dollars from hard working Americans WHO PAY TAXES through HUD slush funds and refuse to pay a SINGLE PENNY back to the taxpayers. AND the school children deprived of much needed funds. Like $5 MILLION per year EDEN is keeping in their own pocket. Here are ALL the names of TAX FRAUD EDEN.

So many different aliases. NOT an accident but a very deliberate, conscious effort to mislead and to hide the massive tax fraud. Any self-respecting felon will tell you, the more aliases you use, the longer it will take to get caught. BUT they will ALSO tell you everybody gets caught eventually if they keep on doing what they're doing.
And EDEN has been doing what they've been doing for over 25 years, defrauding Cuyahoga County of millions of dollars in property tax revenue. Which Cuyahoga County's broke ass cannot afford. On the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office page they have used the above aliases and MORE. But the one common denominator for ALL the EDEN aliases is the mailing address 7812 Madison Cleveland 44102, Tax Fraud Central.
When they filed their ORIGINAL Articles of Confederation filed with the Ohio Secretary of State on December 12, 1990, EDEN owned one legitimate group home with on site mental health services and communal meals for mentally challenged adults for which they were granted the Land Use 6800 property tax exemption. AND ALSO the IRS Activity Code F33 "residential mental health treatment". Then Kathryn Kazol took over EDEN in late 1991 and said fuck that! That's way too much work. Let's call ourselves a charity and just manipulate HUD into giving us Section 8 vouchers, and buy up properties with free money from the government we can use them on. This is not your grandfather's charity where individuals gave money out of their own free will. This is a fake charity whose entire budget $30 million comes from YOUR TAX DOLLARS courtesy of HUD. And Kathryn Kazol started accumulating properties through gifts and "mortgages" from various government giveaway programs that didn't have to be paid back. Under her "leadership" Kazol totally changed what EDEN does. The mental health services and paid health care professionals and mental health professionals were flung aside. The straight up Section 8 rent collection era was born.
The original group home for mentally disabled adults was de-activated so to speak and sold off. And Kathryn Kazol began her meglomanical goal of accumulating a vast TOTALLY TAX FREE real estate empire. FRAUD for fun and "non" profit.The most recent assessed value of this empire is $35 MILLION, ALL FINANCED WITH YOUR TAX DOLLARS, purchased through free mortgages from HUD, funds funneled through various federal, state and local "community" "development" money laundering operations. 100% of EDEN tenants are classified as "disabled" and are NOT employed. So ALL the rent is paid through one goobermint agency or another. HUD, Social Security disability, Social Security Supplemental Income pay the way over market rate rent ALL TAX FREE just funneled into EDEN's account. No worries about rent collection. It's all guaranteed by our totally bankrupt federal government.
EDEN has changed their Articles of Incorporation with the state of Ohio TWICE, in 2004 and again in 2014. They "transitioned" from a provider of services to mentally disabled adults to a provider AND DEVELOPER of Section 8 HUD housing. YUUUUGE DIFFERENCE! BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY DELIBERATELY FAILED TO NOTIFY THE STATE OF OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION AND THE CUYAHOGA COUNTY FISCAL OFFICE! AND WOW JUST WOW! THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY THE IRS EITHER. According to their 2016 IRS Guidestar profile, they are STILL using IRS NTEE CODE F33 Residential Mental Health Treatment And they don't even pretend to do that anymore. I’m going to give the IRS a call and get a copy of EDEN’s 1023 form. You know where they SAY the qualify for code F 33. It’s public information!! BUT if they change their NTEE code to something that actually reflects what they REALLY do like L20 Housing Development used by CHN like it WOULD raise a BIG RED FLAG! And they would lose their Cuyahoga County property tax exemption.
Imagine if you own a church and decide to turn it into a bar and don't tell the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office of a change in Land Use. That's basically what EDEN did. EDEN is a Section 8 property owner. Period. They have ZERO Residential Mental Health Treatment centers in their over $35 million property portfolio. Now I know they don't have any on staff mental health professionals. Or medical professionals or drug counsellors. But don't they pay a tax attorney or two to check over this? And what about the Board??? EDEN owns properties ranging from 1 bedroom condos in Rocky River and Lakewood to giant apartment complexes in Berea to commercial buildings on Kinsman to laudromats to funeral homes on Buckeye (which they recently sold). And the MOST LUCRATIVE property tax exempt cash cows of ALL: the shiny new LIHTC financed Heroin Hotels they own with CHN. How weird that the ONLY Heroin Hotel CHN owns with Famicos at 1850 Superior PAYS $10,000 in property taxes. That's because Famicos isn't part of this monumental FRAUD.
EDEN has owned properties they totally neglected which had to be demoed at taxpayers expense. But it's all good because they didn't pay for them. WE THE TAXPAYERS DID. 99% of the properties in their vast empire is FRAUDULENTLY classified as Homes for the Aged land use code 6800. In the case of the funeral home it was Homes for the Very Aged. They scam over $25 million per year from HUD according to their IRS 990 for scoring 3072 Section 8 vouchers worth $18 million over HALF of which are used by tenants in PROPERTIES THEY OWN. Not only THAT but 47% of their tenants are OVERHOUSED which in HUDSPEAK means the taxpayers are paying for a unit LARGER than the tenant is entitled to. MORE FRAUD!! EDEN employs 168 paper pushers and various "directors" and "managers" but no professional medical staff, social workers or drug counselors. By contrast with a budget of $25 million (FIVE MILLION LESS THAN THE CORRUPT EDEN) AND WITH NO FUNDS FROM HUD, Koinonia Homes (which has always had only ONE name and merits a GOLD STAR on Guidestar) employs 737 people, 550 MORE than EDEN and include many professionals certified, social workers, mental health counselors, medical staff, to assist their mentally challenged residents lead productive meaningful positive lives. In over 40 years Koinonia Homes has stayed true to their original mission which is to provide housing AND SERVICES to mentally challenged adults. EDEN got tired of the service part LONG AGO and now just collect millions of tax free dollars in the form of very lucrative HUD Section 8 vouchers. Private landlords who accept a tenant with an EDEN Section 8 voucher DO have to pay property taxes. And federal, state AND city taxes too.WHY DOESN'T EDEN? Private landlords ALSO have to file rental disclosures. But the overpaid EDEN "directors" are so busy virtue signalling they have no time or interest in THAT. So 99% of EDEN's 110 Section 8 rental properties (over 1100 total units) have NO RENTAL DISCLOSURES on file. CMHA has a system of offering Section 8 vouchers through a lottery system which is only open every few years and there are strict rules for applying to be considered when the waiting list is open. EDEN has a special system for their 3072 vouchers. They had them out ONLY to unemployed drug addicts. That way they NEVER have to worry about rent collection if a poor struggling WORKING tenant can't pay their share of the rent. And ALSO they post political messages on their properties even though they are prohibited from engaging in political activity. Only concerned about the $$$$$$$ they get from HUD, EDEN leaves their mentally challenged residents free to use drugs or whatever else they do with no supervision or assistance from their staff. The executive director makes over $250,000 per year and at the end of the work day she escapes to her ALL WHITE enclave in Concord Township far far away from the neighborhoods where the residents of the properties she "manages" wreak havoc. University Heights wasn't far enough or white enough apparently for her majesty. Trying to pass herself off as the reincarnation of Jane Addams in reality she is the 2nd coming of LEONA HELMSLEY.
Time's up. Filing the DTE 23B right now. Enough is ENOUGH.
24 TAX EXEMPT properties from EDEN's VAST real estate empire
Now REALLY. Does anyone think the following properties are Homes for the Aged? Property Tax Exempt land use code 6800 fyi. 24 properties with a value, according to the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office of, are you ready....$2,612,300. And this is just the single family and 2 Family Homes that EDEN owns. I'm just getting started here. Some of them are in very good neighborhoods. NOT as good as Concord township of course. But pretty good for the average struggling Cuyahoga County property tax payer, whose taxes subsidize this tax exempt fraud.

Oh yeah and then there's the vacant lot at 4058 Walter Road in North Olmsted that once contained a 5BR 2BA house. Purchased by EDEN in 1994 for $115,000 an all CASH transaction! It was totally trashed by the Section 8 EDEN residents and EDEN tried unsuccessfully to sell it for $60,000 in 2016. OF COURSE it was a 6800 Tax Exempt Home for the Aged. From 1994 until 2017. Now it's a vacant lot. Razed in 2017. And EDEN requested a change in Land Use from 6800 to 5000 which is the land use code for a vacant residential lot. And NOW EDEN is paying taxes on the lot. $2578.70 per year as of 2017. It is kind of hard to claim a vacant lot is a Home for the Aged. But something is definitely up. I'm pretty sure they won't be building homeless housing in North Olmsted. Almost as unlikely as plopping down a Heroin Hotel in Concord Township.
And like I said this is ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE LIST. Apartment complexes, suburban condos and townhouses, COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS still to come. And of course the very lucrative Heroin Hotels they own with their BFFs at CHN crime partners. Stay tuned.

So there you have it. 23 property tax EXEMPT "Homes for the Aged". 160 units.
Next up the suburban condos and townhouse Homes for the Aged. Owned by EDEN. Filled with Section 8 tenants on SSI.
Fraudulently Tax Exempt Suburban Condos Value $826,900
The sad unfashionable condos built badly in the mid 60's located in inner ring 'burbs are not worth much a mere $826,900. EDEN has actually filed rental disclosures for 8. The other 12? NOT FILED. Weird right. They are ALL rentals. And Ron O'Leary is going to be checking and FINING starting soon. BUT even WEIRDER and MORE REVEALING that the "brain trust" at EDEN knows they are committing massive tax fraud is that TWO of the units are actually classified correctly: Land Use 5500. Residential townhouse. Which is how they ALL should be classified. Throwing the County a few crumb$ as Nancy Pelosi would say. To keep them off the tax exempt scent.
Exhibit A: 25735 Lorain Unit 119 1 BR 1BA North Olmsted purchased by EDEN in 2000 was fraudulently classified as a Home for the Aged Tax Exempt Land Use 6800 from 2000 until 2012 when SUDDENLY without warning it was changed to Land Use 5500. Valued at $19,000 the taxes annually are $620.06. AND it has filed a rental disclosure. BUT right upstairs on the elevator is 25735 Lorain Unit 524 AND it is classified as a Home for the Aged Tax Exempt Land Use 6800. That really is a clue, a DEAD GIVEAWAY. Oh and Unit 524? No rental disclosure has been filed. And this one is valued at $50,400

CUYAHOGA COUNTY PAYS EDEN $226,424 RENT FOR THE WOMEN'S SHELTER
So EDEN owns seven commercial buildings. That's right. Property tax exempt Cuyahoga County Land Use 6800 Homes for the Aged, IRS Activity Code F33 "residential mental health living environments in community based facilities...who require a structured supervised treatment program" COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. WTF????!!!!
With a tax value of $2,863,000. Now these properties need to be seriously checked out. It's VERY HARD to get a real idea of what's going on without a field trip to the addresses. So much subterfuge from the white folks. In charge. Because really. Come on.
1502 E 118th 44106 it WAS a school. Now?? Value $192,100
7813-7823 Madison 44102 storefronts and upstairs apartments. Storefronts advertised call Diana Holly at EDEN 216-634-0178 Value $169,700
7812-14 Madison 44102. 5 office buildings. 17,469 total square feet. Built in 1900. But no owner prior to EDEN who got ALL the building on New Year's Day 2000. For $0. Value $692,000.

So how much fraudulently property tax exempt RENT is Cuyahoga County paying EDEN for 2219 Payne the Norma Herr Women's Shelter. Just rent. Because as always EDEN DOES WHAT THEY DO BEST. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING EXCEPT CASH THE RENT CHECKS. IN THIS CASE FROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY. FOR $226,424 in 2016 AND THEY DON'T EVEN MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY. AND WHY ISN'T THAT STRICTLY RENTAL INCOME TAXABLE. REMIND ME WHY NOT?? ANYONE??? THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HAVE ANY ANSWERS FROM HER HOME IN CONCORD TOWNSHIP? I talked to some of the women outside. Broken toilets, cold showers, bedbugs and roaches, no air conditioning. And the taxpayers of Cuyahoga County GIVE them $226,424 FOR THAT!! It WAS managed by Frontline Service and they were FIRED by Cuyahoga County. Property Tax EXEMPT and in horrible disrepair. Like most of EDEN'S Tax Exempt Land Use code 6800 slums.

The Crown Jewels of the EDEN Scam The Tax Exempt Heroin Hotels
Really THIS is just amazing. These Section 8 buildings built with your tax dollars rent paid with your tax dollars SSI checks from your tax dollars PAY NOT ONE CENT IN TAXES. Not federal, not state of Ohio, not City of Cleveland. Not even property taxes. What a despicable scam. Refer to ORC 5709.13 the definition of a home for the aged. The "directors" of CHN Crime Partners and EDEN need to go back to skool. ALL CLASSIFIED AS HOMES FOR THE AGED LAND USE CODE 6800. They share the massive tax exempt revenue with CHN Partners in Crime. And POOR FAMICOS. Their Heroin Hotel, also operated with CHN Partners in Crime, the lowliest of them, valued at a paltry $890,800 PAYS $10,000 in property taxes for 40 renovated units in an old building. Someone needs to give John Anoliefo a heads up. CNH top brass. Rob Curry.white. check. Kathy Urban Monter. white. check. Pat Kenney. white. check. John Anoliefo African. Looks like my friend Dale is right.
For comparison, these randomly selected NON EDEN low income apartment buildings pay the following in property taxes. The owners of these buildings would probably be VERY VERY interested in hearing about how EDEN has been defrauding the county of millions and millions in property taxes over the last 25 plus years, while they have dutifully been paying what they owe the county.
5111 Hector Cleveland 44127, owner Lourexis, 70 units annual property taxes $56,474
5125 Hector Cleveland 44127 owned by Alexia Manor,50 units annual property taxes $35,549
4733 Lee Road Rd 44128 owned by Lee Miles Senior Citizen Housing, 80 units, annual property taxes $55,344
3843 Payne Ave 44114 owned by Asian Evergreen Housing 43 units annual property taxes $36,544
AND 7520 Woodland Cleveland 44104 owned by Mt. Sinai Housing Development Corporation, 60 units, annual property taxes.....$74,952. And for the record the residents of this building have access to many services on site.
Based on the taxes paid by the honest law abiding building owners above, EDEN would owe approximately $420,000 on the Heroin Hotels ALONE! PER YEAR
So here they are. EDEN/CHN owned Land Use Code 6800 Homes for the Aged Heroin Hotels. Property tax EXEMPT.
3323 W. 25th "South Pointe Commons" (gotta love the extra E on Point) 78 efficiency units Value $4,453 400
10022 St. Clair "Liberty at St. Clair" 72 units IT OPENED IN 2007 AND STILL LISTED AS A VACANT LOT
7515 Euclid "Emerald Alliance" 65 efficiency units Value $4,075,600 an adjoing building is slated to open with ONE BEDROOM AIR CONDITIONED UNITS FOR SINGLE PEOPLE who will live there for FREE courtesy of we the taxpayer
11529 Buckeye "Buckeye Square" 65 efficiency units Value $1,684,800
3215 E 55th "Edgewood Park" 63 efficiency units Value $3,397,700

10426 Detroit "Northridge Commons" rehabbed former nursing home 30 units Value $2,159,100
8301 Detroit "The Commons at West Village" 66 units Value $2,076,300
And there's another one located at 4175 East 131st. It's named after a well known dog abuser Inez Killingsworth. The address on the fiscal office page is E 131 and Miles, parcel #13811160. I had to drive over there to get the actual address. BUT CHECK THIS OUT ....ALERT ALERT NEW INFORMATION. THIS PROPERTY HAS HAD THE LAND USE CODE CHANGED FROM 4000 -COMMERCIAL VACANT LOT- TO LAND USE 4070-apartments with 40 or more units with elevator! NOT Land USE 6800 Home for the Aged THIS PROVES THEY KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN COMMITTING FRAUD. 100 buildings, 1200 units to go! It's ONLY valued at $321,700 when the REAL value is probably about $5 million BUT. It's NOT a Home for the Aged. So the total value of the 7 "Homes for the Aged" is....$18,374,400. And if I estimate the value of 7702 Madison and 10022 St. Clair let's add another $5 million for a grand total value of $23,374,400. TICK TICK TICKA TICKA TICKA BOOM
#TIMESUP
EDEN's budget $30,000,000 WHERE IS IT GOING????
EDEN is CUYAHOGA COUNTY'S ALL TIME PROPERTY TAX CHEAT. With a budget of $30 million OF TAX DOLLARS STOLEN FROM WORKING AMERICANS. THAT'S THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS. And they proudly and arrogantly steal books and pencils from the struggling impoverished children in school districts of Cuyahoga County by scamming the school districts out of AT LEAST 2 MILLION PER YEAR in unpaid property taxes. They take $30 MILLION from taxpayers through HUD and ALL THEY DO is hand out 3000 Section 8 vouchers HUD gives them, over 1000 to properties THEY OWN. Not ONE SINGLE TENANT in their properties IS EMPLOYED. They GIVE NOTHING BACK. They not ONLY DO NOT PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE they pay absolutely NOTHING. Their staff of "managers" and paper pushers number ONLY 162 with that HUGE BUDGET and no professional social workers, drug counselors, mental health workers or medical staff. And they REFUSE to pay any taxes. The directorette swans around passing herself off as the 2nd coming of Jane Addams. IN REALITY SHE’S THE REINCARNATION OF LEONA HELMSLEY. Koinonia Homes on the other hand has a budget of $26 million and 750 employees, MANY of whom are trained professionals to help mentally challenged adults. So what exactly is EDEN doing with ALL that money. WHERE IS ALL THE MONEY EDEN GETS FROM HUD GOING ANYWAY?
FYI to Leona Helmsley Junior: Definition of Homes for the Aged Land Use 6800 ORC 5701.13 Section A 2 " "Residential care facility means A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY ....THAT PROVIDES ACCOMODATION SUPERVISION AND PERSONAL CARE SERVICES FOR THREE TO SIXTEEN UNRELATED ADULTS" not "providing housing solutions to people facing the challenges of insecurities and homelessness" with OUR tax dollars.
There are many many low income housing providers and NONE of them are property tax exempt, like the despicable EDEN. Like for example CHN and Famicos who pay property taxes on their properties. All the bullshit "advocating" and housing opportunities and programs of financial and other types of HOUSING ASSISTANCE" EDEN throws around on their IRS tax forms and their web site do not qualify for Land Use 6800. If there's any confusion about the difference between handing out Section 8 vouchers handed over from HUD to PROPERTIES YOU OWN and a residential care facility Land Use 6800 I suggest you check with Koinonia Homes. Who operate strictly within the definition of Land Use 6800 and have with DISTINCTION for over 40 years. With WAY LESS MONEY and 600 more employees than EDEN. Again I ask WHERE IS THAT $30 MILLION GOING??
Leona Helmsley Jr. at EDEN panhandling for $$$$$$
The Emerald Development and Economic Network and all its other 26 names is utterly shameless. Mrs. Helmsley Jr. the executive director "only the little people pay taxes" is panhandling for funds on their award winning website. For a generator for the Women's Shelter. The shelter was handed over to EDEN FOR FREE. AND she gets $226,424 PER YEAR IN PROPERTY TAX EXEMPT RENT from Cuyahoga County. That's JUST RENT. AND ALL the services are provided by ANOTHER agency....right now the Y for which the county pays ANOTHER $2 million. Let's just stop RIGHT NOW with this charade the EDEN is a charity. They get $30 million TAX FREE dollars from HUD. And they can't buy a generator. Please. Plus the "maintenance" of the shelter is a disgrace. I guess that $226,424 from the county is just slip sliding into a swiss bank account. And what ever became of Kathryn Kazol the architect of this obscene fraud. She retired and vanished without a trace.
Catholic Charities Housing PAYS PROPERTY TAXES
For over 20 Catholic Charities Housing Corporation in Cleveland has been providing housing for marginalized, disabled, and otherwise needy residents of Cuyahoga County. They do EXACTLY what the fraudulent tax cheat Emerald Development and Economic Network does with one YUUUUUUUGE difference. THEY ACTUALLY PAY PROPERTY TAXES ON ALL THEIR PROPERTIES. They even own a GROUP HOME which would definitely qualify for the Land Use 6800 property tax exemption and yet they pay $22,872 religiously for THAT one alone. With a budget that is less than 10% of the $30 million EDEN gets from HUD and other government entities AKA OUR TAX DOLLARS, Catholic Charities Housing pays $289,068 in property taxes on just 16 properties. They also provide support services to their residents. And there are many many MANY other low income housing providers in Cuyahoga County including NRP, National Church Residences, Mt. Sinai Apartments, Mt. Hermon Good Samaritan Foundation Home, Light of Hearts Village, St. Vitus Village to name just a few. Could someone please explain to me why THEY shouldn't ALL be getting the same sweetheart property tax exemption Mrs. Leona Helmsley Jr. at EDEN is getting??

Michael K Doud New White Guy at EDEN
So many white folks helping themselves to our federal tax dollars pretending to help black folks. Michael K. Doud who ALSO lives outside of Cuyahoga County just like Leona Helmsley Collins more precisely at 8168 Walker Drive North Ridgeville has just climbed aboard at the Emerald Development and Economic Fraud Network. He comes from ADAMS where he was the Director of something or other. His position at EDEN remains unclear at this point but at 57 years old he certainly hasn't given up his cushy position to answer the phones. Is Irene "dollar bill" Collins being forced into "retirement" ahead of a massive investigation just like Rob Curry at Cleveland Housing Network Crime Partners? Stay tuned
If EVERY LANDLORD that took an EDEN VOUCHER
What if every landlord that took an EDEN certified crazy tenant set up an LLC and claimed the property tax exemption. And btw EDEN inspections do not require the lead test.
Eden fraud game back in ACTION - Norma Herr rolling in her grave
https://cuyahogacounty.gov/county-news/county-news-detail/2024/10/23/groundbreaking-for-norma-herr-ii-emergency-shelter
EDEN owns the Norma Herr properties and will oversee the development process. The new shelter will offer residents more personal space, including individual bathrooms, a computer lab, lounge areas, a dining space, and a safe courtyard for outdoor enjoyment. The new design aims to provide a healthier and more dignified living experience for those in need of housing. The new building will connect to the original building, which is also undergoing improvements, and will become part of a non-congregate shelter complex with modern amenities and a full array of services for individuals experiencing a housing crisis.
“Today marks a significant milestone in our collective journey to create a high quality, non-congregate shelter," said Elaine Gimmel, Executive Director of EDEN. "This new space is the result of extensive collaboration and commitment. Together, we have learned from past challenges and worked tirelessly to design a space that is not only welcoming and nurturing, but one that truly meets the needs of our community. It reflects our shared vision of dignity and compassion, ensuring that every person who walks through these doors finds safety, support, and hope for the future.”
"Today’s groundbreaking is not just about bricks and mortar—it’s a testament to our community’s commitment to providing safe, dignified, and humane shelter for all,” said Melissa Sirak, Director of the Cuyahoga County Office of Homeless Services. “Together, we are building an environment that fosters support and stability, allowing individuals to focus on their housing plans and long-term stability."
