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 2018, Bethany House sheltered 302 families, 1,175 individuals, 789 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 is provided by an on-site mental health clinician. Every parent who enters shelter has experienced trauma and stress; all are referred to the mental health clinician for support. 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 to the Children's Home therapists who are on-site at Bethany House two days per week. 1685694 1227076 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 a new on-site mental health collaboration. 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. Two of BHS's three RRH programs ranked in the top 10% of all Continuum of Care Housing programs in Hamilton County. In 2018, 233 families were served, 859 individuals, 578 were children. 432927 304646 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 2018, Permanent Supportive Housing served 33 families, 126 individuals, 83 of them children. 537244 20986 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 2018, BHS served 51 families, 179 individuals, 126 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 2018, 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, an evidence-based Trauma Informed Care training began for all employees of the FHP agencies. 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 2018; many apartments got new hot water heaters, windows, refrigerators, stoves and flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms. Residents benefited from regular food donations, Christmas gifts, summer cookouts and a variety of activities for the children. 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. 537244 20986 4137926 1 1 0 0 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 1 116 0 1 70 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 21 21 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 Kathrine R Phillips Trustee - resigned 06/18 1.00 X 0 0 0 Megan J McCuen Trustee - resigned 01/18 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 Michael F Haverkamp Trustee - resigned 03/18 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 Terry E Davis Jr Trustee - resigned 11/18 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 Denise D Schumacher Vice-President - resigned 04/18 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert J Inkrot President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Sharron M Dimario Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jamie S Easterling Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Annette M Franke Trustee - resigned 01/18 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 Terri L Williams Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lucy A Crane Trustee - joined 06/18 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jackqueline D Grant Trustee - joined 08/18 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nahamani Yisrael Trustee - joined 06/18 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly Freyler Finance Director 40.00 X 75322 0 7467 Susan Schiller Executive Director 40.00 X 102206 0 3139 177528 0 10606 1 0 0 0 0 69600 71845 3184166 1186373 117092 4511984 52233 52233 162436 0 162436 162436 162436 1569589 1573501 -3912 -3912 -3912 73440 71845 28372 45068 45068 Other Income 900099 33637 33637 Utility Income 900099 6014 6014 Laundry Income 900099 2280 2280 41931 4809740 162436 0 135320 1711731 1711731 188135 156898 15758 15479 1393244 1161688 117091 114465 14885 12455 1176 1254 126961 106231 10033 10697 114360 95866 13774 4720 18551 10141 6275 2135 72221 39287 24967 7967 138512 108242 9965 20305 410131 375802 20729 13600 24729 22230 1539 960 61657 49943 6165 5549 38059 29989 4158 3912 Food 148732 148732 Support contracts 101091 101091 Miscellaneous 32953 7600 16458 8895 4595952 4137926 248088 209938 472245 451419 2382 124073 279997 302447 86371 84633 30590 37769 2342752 952437 645458 1390315 2257463 1968834 3774506 4359490 201150 213848 0 596025 13324 14669 214474 824542 X 2848101 2850799 144568 116786 567363 567363 3560032 3534948 3774506 4359490 213788 -238872 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 1652913 2874680 3340533 3565133 4511984 15945243 1652913 2874680 3340533 3565133 4511984 15945243 15945243 83423 92955 61052 63228 52233 352891 11411 8933 24718 44825 41932 131819 16429953 474611 0.97050 0.96440 X 2257463 -186868 101761 1968834 1977718 790 305929 26974 2257463 1825400 50780 128224 16838 9848 1977718 1742613 86659 5542 9414 1825400 1536420 124781 90153 8741 1742613 0.75000 0.25000 0 0 292256 292256 1475401 510959 964442 322966 247261 75705 165830 160198 5632 86299 34019 52280 1390315 Security Deposits 14669 14669 X 4570868 -238872 -238872 4809740 0 4809740 4595952 0 4595952 0 4595952 Part V, Line 4: The organization's endowment consists of funds established to provide income to operations.
