Since that time, care alliance has operated two clinics within cuyahoga metropolitan housing authority (cmha) developments. These spaces have enabled the organization to provide its services in easily accessible locations to public housing residents and in a culturally sensitive manner. One facility is on the near east side of the city that is located inside the carl b. Stokes social services mall, and the other is on the near west side, located within riverview towers. Full-time medical and dental services are provided at the carl b. Stokes social services mall to individuals across the lifespan and medical services are provided at riverview towers.
