The shelter meets each family's immediate needs for safety, housing, food and other necessities and provides a secure environment for parents to plan for their futures. The principles of Trauma Informed Care guide all interactions with mothers and children to provide psychological as well as physical support. In 2019, Bethany House sheltered 294 families, 1,174 individuals, 797 of them children. BHS social workers help parents identify the causes of their homelessness and provide support to overcome barriers to housing. These case managers assist families to develop a budget and a plan to establish employment or benefits; guide the search for housing; and establish connections with community resources. Mental Health assessment and counseling is provided by a mental health clinician on-site at the shelter and at home when the clients exit shelter. Every parent who enters shelter has experienced trauma and stress; all are referred to a mental health clinician for support. He/she listens, counsels, conducts assessments and refers clients to community mental health care providers for follow-up if needed. BHS provides Life Skills education to all adults while they are in shelter. The topics cover information vital to the successful transition of families from homelessness to stable housing. Life Skills classes teach parents the basics of independent living. Budgeting, finding a job, effective parenting, education resources, nutrition, housekeeping, tenant rights/responsibilities and other vital topics are presented. Children's Programming addresses the multigenerational aspect of family homelessness by providing parents with the skills for "positive parenting and by teaching the children in shelter to make healthy life choices. These high-risk children learn the importance of education, nutrition, health, self-esteem and non-violent conflict resolution. Children experiencing signs of traumatic stress or other issues are referred for counseling to our mental health partners. 2272888 1602929 Rapid Re-Housing provides financial assistance and services to quickly re-house and stabilize those families who are experiencing homelessness and living in an emergency shelter. The program provides case management, help finding affordable housing, short-term or medium-term rental assistance, credit counseling, security or utility deposits, utility payments and moving expenses. Case Management services are provided by the housing social workers who are also trained in Trauma Informed Care and follow the families after they move from shelter. Housing clients now receive diagnostic assessments and ongoing counseling from mental health collaborations. For high-risk families, the Child/Parent Coordinator follows the children in housing to ensure that they are enrolled in an appropriate school and are attending classes regularly. They also receive school supplies, uniforms and other clothing as needed. In 2019, 247 families were served, 972 individuals, 664 were children. 416916 278870 Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) combines non-time-limited rental assistance with wrap-around supportive services for people with complex needs related to physical or mental health, developmental disabilities or substance use. In 2019, Permanent Supportive Housing served 31 families, 116 individuals, 76 of them children. 502761 8700 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 2019, BHS served 46 families, 155 individuals, 108 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 2019, 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 2019; many apartments got new windows, refrigerators, stoves and flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms. New stair treads were installed on steps in the common areas.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 2019, BHS served 31 families, 108 individuals, 78 of them children. 502761 8700 4811618 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 1 133 0 1 69 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 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 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 Vice-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 President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Sharron M Dimario Trustee - Resigned 1/19 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jamie S Easterling Trustee 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 - Joined 9/19 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela A Webb Trustee - Joined 10/19 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly Freyler Finance Director 40.00 X 78015 0 8355 Susan Schiller Executive Director 40.00 X 117990 0 3533 196005 0 11888 1 0 0 0 0 75523 71275 3572180 3296902 1410871 7015880 48580 48580 174897 0 174897 174897 174897 498192 31013 506520 31068 -8328 -55 -8383 -8383 101565 71275 22267 79298 79298 Other Income 900099 69463 69463 Laundry Income 900099 2205 2205 Utility Income 900099 1941 1941 73609 7383881 174897 0 193104 1952136 1952136 207893 166963 16297 24633 1763129 1415720 138416 208993 16283 13121 1245 1917 145729 117425 11145 17159 176009 142566 14066 19377 18914 7778 1452 9684 244949 101169 24363 119417 173109 128856 16021 28232 494141 407001 73557 13583 33550 29672 2125 1753 70644 64180 3232 3232 40379 32707 4038 3634 Food 160771 160771 Support contracts 67065 67053 12 Miscellaneous 11942 4500 2346 5096 5576643 4811618 308315 456710 451419 446071 124073 1138223 302447 1387892 84633 71164 37769 14994 2341503 1013992 1390315 1327511 1968834 2211509 4359490 6597364 213848 268311 596025 675000 14669 12944 824542 956255 X 2850799 2813866 684149 2827243 3534948 5641109 4359490 6597364 1807238 298923 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2874680 3340533 3565133 4511984 7015880 21308210 2874680 3340533 3565133 4511984 7015880 21308210 815469 20492741 92955 61052 63228 52233 48580 318048 8933 24718 44825 41932 73609 194017 21820275 321409 0.93920 0.97050 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 1 24000 0 0 0 24000 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. 1968834 1159 358458 105932 11010 2211509 2257463 -186868 101761 1968834 1977718 790 305929 26974 2257463 1825400 50780 128224 16838 9848 1977718 1742613 86659 5542 9414 1825400 0.75000 0.25000 0 0 292256 292256 1479471 561215 918256 322966 252221 70745 165830 162755 3075 80980 37801 43179 1327511 Security Deposits 12944 12944 X 7682804 298923 298923 7383881 0 7383881 5576643 0 5576643 0 5576643 Part V, Line 4: The organization's endowment consists of funds established to provide income to operations.
