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 2015, 909 individuals (610 of whom were children), were sheltered by BHS. We provided 45,275 supervised bed nights and 129,552 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 2015, BHS responded to 10,859 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. 889439 515759 The 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 2015, 175 families were assisted through the Rapid Re-Housing program. Positive housing outcomes were achieved by 99% of these families. 403574 105716 Family 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 2015, 2,114 individuals from 665 families were served by the four family shelters in Greater Cincinnati. Bethany House Services is the managing agency for this partnership. 194903 1470 Affordable 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 2015, 34 families were served. Shelter Diversion was a new program for BHS in 2015 and as the name implies, 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. Bethany House began this program in June of 2015 and served 33 families, for a total of 119 individuals -84 were children. 194903 1470 2404528 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 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 45 0 1 35 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 23 23 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 Sharon Raess Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Terri Williams Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Baird Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kirk Koppenhoeffer Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathi Phillips Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Calvin Wright Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Brinker Esq Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Megan McCuen Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sean Mullins Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Doug Boschert Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nadine Liggett Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lucy Crane Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Bauml Trustee- Joined 1/15 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sharron DiMarrio Trustee- Joined 1/15 1.00 X 0 0 0 Albert Smitherman Trustee- Joined 1/15 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Hengehold Trustee- Joined 2/15 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael F Haverkamp Trustee- Joined 2/15 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sr Lynn Heper Trustee- Joined 6/15 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rob Poulos Trustee- Joined 8/15 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gail Myers Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Sue Dyer Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Denise D Schumacher Vice-President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert J Inkrot President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kelly Freyler Finance Director 40.00 X 65656 0 6960 Susan Schiller Executive Director 40.00 X 72573 0 2776 138229 0 9736 0 0 0 0 0 120000 36845 1756222 961613 214310 2874680 92955 92955 148911 0 148911 148911 148911 173190 190516 -17326 -17326 -17326 80618 36845 17653 62965 62965 Utility Income 900099 11605 11605 Other Income 900099 8993 8993 Laundry Income 900099 2455 2455 23053 3185238 148911 0 161647 105516 105516 595251 595251 147964 120032 13494 14438 875645 708474 78249 88922 11728 9869 1376 483 81665 68720 9579 3366 92175 72630 9466 10079 19773 10181 6096 3496 9414 9414 40791 22112 12169 6510 147423 127583 8945 10895 220577 216484 3268 825 16600 13995 818 1787 54823 46051 3838 4934 35331 31464 1939 1928 Maintenance and repairs 138591 124938 7182 6471 Support contracts 77511 77511 0 0 Food 53359 53359 0 0 Bad debt expense 19572 0 19572 0 2129 358 1726 45 2745838 2404528 187131 154179 90318 226688 58257 2880 292195 212880 9301 95936 15742 41103 1673340 809787 717359 863553 1742613 1825400 2925785 3268440 157907 129959 9968 11157 167875 141116 X 2145766 2366352 46764 193609 565380 567363 2757910 3127324 2925785 3268440 439400 -69986 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2741512 2085763 1733940 1652913 2874680 11088808 2741512 2085763 1733940 1652913 2874680 11088808 11088808 46743 32054 89581 83423 92955 344756 6623 11411 8933 26967 11460531 904624 0.96760 0.97200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1742613 86659 5542 9414 1825400 1536420 124781 90153 8741 1742613 1116512 215946 210845 6883 1536420 745825 275165 100580 5058 1116512 650845 103512 -5142 3390 745825 0.71660 0.28340 0 0 105716 105716 1047386 398653 648733 302451 225189 77262 156178 139383 16795 61609 46562 15047 863553 Security Deposits 11157 11157 X 3115252 -69986 -69986 3185238 0 3185238 2745838 0 2745838 0 2745838 Part V, Line 4: The organization's endowment consists of funds established to provide income to operations.

In the past BHS sheltered 1 of 10 homeless families in our community; today we shelter 5 of 10 homeless families. Also in 2015, the housing programs grew by 35% and we added Shelter Diversion, a proactive program that intervenes with families before they are on the street or arrive at the shelter, placing them directly into permanent housing.
