CITVN Cooperative is an Ohio nonprofit cooperative business operated by former homeless people who are in long term recovery from addictions. The business is organized as a 501(c) tax-exempt social cooperative business. We are fully self-supporting. In keeping with Catholic Worker Movement principles, we do not accept government, corporate or philanthropic grants. Our primary source of revenues are our own personal incomes, the net operating income of our nonprofit cottage industries and small donations from churches and local benefactors who wish to be personally involved in our community.


We are available to speak with your Church or group about recovery ministry. For more information, please call (937) 938-5784 or email Stephen@Catholic-ITV.net
