DescEmergency shelter - BHS provides a sanctuary for desperate homeless families in need of help to achieve stable housing and income. Our shelters provide the secure environment needed for parents to look beyond their current situations and to plan for their futures. The shelter meets each family's immediate needs for safety, housing, food, and other necessities. During their stay in a BHS shelter, parents receive comprehensive case management from experienced social workers. Case managers meet with families as soon as possible after they have entered the shelter and begin the process of identifying barriers to achieving housing as well as reinforcing the positive attributes and resources of the family. The Case Manager guides the family through the process of developing a comprehensive, reality-based plan for ensuring a secure future in stable housing. During 2016, 1,124 individuals (762 of whom were children), were sheltered by BHS. We provided 48,184 supervised bed nights and 175,400 meals. Family members are assessed for a wide range of needs and are referred to community resources for physical and mental health issues, job or education-related barriers, and financial assistance. Referrals are made to other agencies that can contribute to the well-being of the family. A mental health clinician is on site at Bethany House to evaluate and counsel family members and to make referrals to community resources as indicated. This clinician also supports the family as they deal with the precipitating events and the trauma of homelessness experience. In 2016, BHS responded to 12,001 calls for information and referral for shelter and community resources.In combination with one-on-one case management support, Life Skills group programs provide a foundation for prevention of future episodes of homelessness. These educational sessions are taught by experts from the community and BHS staff. Speakers address topics such as financial literacy, budgeting, parenting, developing healthy relationships, healthy choices, nutrition, yoga, and tenants' rights. Job-related skills such as resume writing and interviewing are also taught. BHS programs address the multigenerational aspect of family homelessness by providing parents with the skills for "positive parenting and by teaching children to make healthy choices. The Positive Parenting, Family Nights, and "Nutrition, Health and Safety" programs provide parent-child activities and promote stronger relationships in addition to the core content. Bethany House staff emphasize the importance of education and regular school attendance, which is vital if the multigenerational cycle of poverty and homelessness is to be broken.Desc

DescThe Rapid Re-Housing Program, considered by HUD to be the best housing practice for alleviating homelessness, provides financial assistance and services to families experiencing homelessness. The goal of the program is to expedite re-housing and stabilization of the family as quickly as possible. It is easier and more efficient for families to sign up for benefits or apply for jobs when they have a home address and can receive mail. They are also less stressed and better organized at home than when in shelter. The program provides several forms of assistance, including: identification of affordable housing suitable for the family's needs; short-term or medium-term rental assistance and housing relocation and stabilization services, including such activities as mediation, credit counseling, security or utility deposits, utility payments, moving cost assistance, and case management. Rapid Re-Housing case managers and a housing specialist assist each family to develop a housing plan, serve as liaison between family and landlord, and manage complex issues such as lease options, contracts and apartment inspections.In 2016 179 families, which included 471 children and their parents, were assisted through the Rapid Re-Housing program. Positive housing outcomes were achieved by 97% of these families.Desc

DescFamily Housing Partnership is a federally funded collaboratrion between four agencies in Cincinnati that form a safety net of emergency shelter and basic needs for homeless families. Beginning in 2000, the mission of the collaborative has been to move families quickly from shelter to housing, from crisis to stability and self sufficiency. This is achieved through shared resources and expertise, and through unique community case review that ensures families are matched to the programs that can best serve their needs. A weekly Case Manager meeting facilitates these reviews and provides problem-solving support, as well as clinical feedback and resource referrals. Services to families have proven more effective and targeted when provided as a collaborative and the Family Housing Partnership helps to improve system-wide efficiency for family-focused services. In 2016, 2,187 individuals from 767 families were served by the four family shelters in Greater Cincinnati. Bethany House Services is the HUD applicant for this partnership.Desc

DescAffordable housing - Bethany Homes, a 24-unit apartment building owned and operated as a non-profit by BHS, provides permanent, safe, affordable housing for economically disadvantaged individuals and families, most of whom are supported by a single female working provider. In addition to 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, the complex has a playground and outdoor picnic area. Bethany House provides seasonal activities for the families living in Bethany Homes. In 2016, 34 families were served. Shelter Diversion diverts a homeless family from shelter placing them directly into permanent housing. This program is substantially cheaper than shelter services and, more importantly, it prevents additional trauma to the family. In 2016, Bethany House served 45 families, for a total of 165 individuals - 116 were children.Desc

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe 990 is reviewed by the Finance Committee and a copy is provided to the full board.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cBethany House Services (BHS) adheres to the agency's conflict of interest policy which dictates the procedures and practices to be followed to prevent the personal interest of staff members, board members and volunteers from interfering with the performance of their duties, or results in the personal, financial or political gain at the expense of the agency, its members, supporters or other stakeholders. Each board member, officer, staff member and volunteer signs and dates the policy at the beginning of their term of service or employment and each year thereafter. This policy and disclosure form is reviewed and distributed annually by all specified parties. Full disclosure is required, by notice in writing, by all interested parties to the full board of directors in all conflicts of interest. Following full disclosure of a possible conflict of interest or any condition specified in the policy, the board of directors shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists and, if so, the board shall vote to authorize or reject the transaction or take other action deemed necessary to address the conflict and protect BHS's best interests.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Supervisors annually conduct performance evaluations which are based on performance of responsibilities from job descriptions and achievement of goals. Each employee also submits a self-evaluation. Following the supervisor's and employee's discussion and review, the evaluation is scored. Raises are distributed to employees based on the scores and available funding. Compensation is determined and approved by the Board when it approves the annual budget. The actions of the Board are documented in the minutes. Comparability data is researched using annual surveys conducted by the United Way of Greater Cincinnati, Barnes Dennig, and the Leadership Council of Human Service Executives.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The organization makes its financial statements available to the public through its own website and upon request. The governing documents and conflict of interest policy are made available upon request at the corporate address.
