Shelter services include safety, meals, case management, life skills classes, children's programming, mental health assessment and connections with community service providers. Bethany House strives to meet not only the immediate physical needs of every family member while they are in shelter, but also to provide the family unit with the skills, knowledge and support needed to establish a stable home. Each family works with a social worker who supports them through identifying their needs and barriers, then provides connections to appropriate community resources. All staff are trained in trauma informed care, considered best practice by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)and the National Center on Family Homelessness. Trauma-informed care promotes a culture of safety, empowerment, and healing. Children's programming provides therapeutic group sessions; enrollment in childcare or school; developmental assessments for children under 5.5 yrs.; socialization outings into the community; referrals for mental and physical health issues. Families who have exited from shelter are followed and provided with post-shelter stabilization services as needed to avoid repeated episodes of homelessness.Last year the pandemic did require modifications to the way services were provided. Families in the two communal shelters were moved to extended stay hotels so that each family had their own kitchenette and bathroom facilities. Initially, case management was provided by phone or virtual meetings. All children were provided with the equipment they needed to participate in their own school's classes. An educational specialist was hired to support the students as they struggled with the new procedures as well as the coursework. Apartment inspections were often conducted virtually. Our communal shelters remain closed. We are hoping to be able to move families out of the hotel before school starts in August 2021.In 2020, 293 families received comprehensive shelter services: 1,082 individuals, 725 of whom were under the age of 18. Outcomes remained very good despite the challenges presented by COVID 96% of the families who exited from shelter during the year moved into a positive housing situation; 33% of those who exited did so with increased income. 2687190 1911360 Families in a homeless shelter who meet the community criteria may be assigned to one of four Bethany House Rapid Rehousing programs by the local HUD Unified Funding Agency. These programs provide case management to assist families in identifying appropriate affordable housing as quickly as possible to minimize the trauma of the homelessness experience. Housing social workers guide the parent through a process of recognizing and overcoming their barriers to obtaining housing, connect them to mainstream benefits, identify ways to increase income, provide referrals to community mental health and other service providers, and stabilize the family in housing. The program includes short-to-medium term financial assistance to utility assistance payments and rental deposits. Children in high-risk families are followed by housing case managers to ensure they are enrolled and attending school. In 2020, 221 families were served through the rapid rehousing programs. These families included 837 individuals, 560 of whom were children. 427125 281228 Permanent supportive housing programs are available to homeless families when at least one member has a permanent disability or serious, persistent condition. Permanent supportive housing is a combination of housing and services intended as a cost-effective way to help all people live more stable, productive lives. Case management services are more intensive in this program to meet the greater needs of the families and although rapid rehousing program assistance is time-limited, permanent supportive case management and financial assistance services are not. In 2020, 29 families comprised of 109 individuals (67 of whom were children) were served through the Bethany House Permanent Supportive Housing program. 690091 23906 Shelter Diversion identifies immediate permanent housing and provides case management and rental assistance for families at imminent risk of homelessness. Shelter Diversion is more cost-effective than entering an Emergency Shelter, plus the family avoids the trauma of homelessness. In 2020, BHS served 57 families, 188 individuals, 129 of them children. Since 2000, Bethany House Services has been the lead agency for funding of case management services for the homeless families in Cincinnati. The level of collaboration among the four agencies within the Family Housing Partnership (FHP) is unique in Cincinnati's social services arena, and today the partnership is stronger than ever. In 2020, the FHP Agencies, Bethany House Services, Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cincinnati, Salvation Army and YWCA Greater Cincinnati, made great strides in the implementation of Solutions for Family Homelessness (S4FH), the community-wide plan to make family homelessness rare, brief and a one-time event. In addition, all employees participate in an evidence-based Trauma Informed Care training. Bethany Homes is a 24-unit apartment building for economically challenged individuals and families, most of whom are supported by a single female working provider. Every family who comes into the shelter needs permanent, safe, affordable housing. Renovations of Bethany Homes continued in 2020; many apartments got new windows, refrigerators, stoves and flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms. Aftercare provides a safety net for families who have left shelter but experience an emergency situation that threatens their housing stability. No matter how long it has been since the family experienced homelessness, Aftercare provides landlord mediation, emergency financial assistance, connections to relevant community agencies - whatever it takes for the family to keep their home and prevent another episode of homelessness. In 2020, BHS served 82 families, 310 individuals, 219 of them children. 690091 23906 5825003 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 142 0 1 70 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 24 24 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 OH X X X Kelly Freyler 5139211131 1841 Fairmount Avenue Cincinnati OH 45214 H Kim Baird Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sean G Mullins Trustee - Resigned 4/20 1.00 X 0 0 0 Albert C Smitherman Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steven D Hengehold Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sr Lynn Heper SC Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donald L Brown Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ross A Crawford Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robie K Suggs Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda R Toole Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn K Washburn President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Carole C Williams Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 M Gail Myers Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan M Dyer Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert J Inkrot Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jamie S Easterling Trustee - Resigned 7/20 1.00 X 0 0 0 Catherine A Kitchin Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ian A Van Handel Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lucy A Crane Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jackqueline D Grant Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nahamani Yisrael Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey A Eberlein Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela A Webb Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan L Macy Trustee - Appointed 10/20 1.00 X 0 0 0 Megan J McCuen Trustee - Appointed 2/20 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gregory W Olson Trustee - Appointed 10/20 1.00 X 0 0 0 David L Tramontana Trustee - Appointed 12/20 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly Freyler CFO 40.00 X 81476 0 13018 Susan Schiller CEO 40.00 X 109467 0 3383 Margaret Dierkers COO 40.00 X 81384 0 8543 272327 0 24944 1 0 0 0 0 217479 36971 5002864 8151249 277574 13408563 60710 60710 191596 0 191596 191596 191596 911071 911752 -681 -681 -681 98154 36971 16123 82031 82031 Refund of Worker's Compensation 900099 177722 177722 Other Income 900099 4061 4061 Laundry Income 900099 2115 2115 1656 1656 185554 13927773 191596 0 327614 2789462 2789462 297272 232541 25771 38960 1883204 1472923 163332 246949 20250 15866 1747 2637 149516 117144 12898 19474 220922 182649 16120 22153 21183 3493 1935 15755 11017 11017 308096 61001 29487 217608 172866 131716 21048 20102 489931 446055 25396 18480 21229 18574 1903 752 70538 59128 5705 5705 43402 35156 4340 3906 Support contracts 127832 127832 Food 126922 126922 Miscellaneous 21311 4541 10866 5904 6774953 5825003 331565 618385 446071 1124583 1138223 3741237 1387892 4848727 71164 74678 14994 17479 2379522 1084532 1327511 1294990 2211509 2434764 0 216638 6597364 13753096 268311 299366 675000 500000 12944 13694 956255 813060 X 2813866 3905939 2827243 9034097 5641109 12940036 6597364 13753096 7152820 146107 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 3340533 3565133 4511984 7015880 13408563 31842093 3340533 3565133 4511984 7015880 13408563 31842093 1151933 30690160 61052 63228 52233 48580 60710 285803 24718 44825 41932 73609 185554 370638 32498534 350034 0.94440 0.93920 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 1 54000 0 0 0 54000 0 Part II-B, Line 1: We have a contract with Government Strategies Group to help us secure capital funding from the state, county, and city for our new emergency shelter and comprehensive services center. 2211509 827 187638 55762 11018 2333194 1968834 1159 358458 105932 11010 2211509 2257463 -186868 101761 1968834 1977718 790 305929 26974 2257463 1825400 50780 128224 16838 9848 1977718 0.75000 0.25000 0 0 292256 292256 1517490 617203 900287 322966 257182 65784 165830 164017 1813 80980 46130 34850 1294990 Security Deposits 13694 13694 X 14062863 146107 146107 13916756 11017 11017 13927773 6763936 0 6763936 11017 11017 6774953 Part V, Line 4: The organization's endowment consists of funds established to provide income to operations.
