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 Stabilization on Family Homelessness. Trauma-informed care promotes a culture of safety, empowerment, and healing. Children's programming provides group sessions; assisting with 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.In 2024, 274 families received comprehensive shelter services: 1050 individuals, 689 of whom were under the age of 18. Outcomes remained very good despite the challenges presented with increased rental rates and shortage of affordable housing; 93% of the families who exited from shelter during the year moved into a positive housing situation; 51% of families who exited did so with increased or maintained income. 5168968 3315776 Bethany House offers two types of Housing Stabilization programs. Housing Stabilization includes a combination of Rehousing upon exiting shelter and Prevention to help maintain housing and avoid homelessness.Rehousing programs are funded by the local HUD Unified Funding Agency and includes:Rapid Rehousing - This programs provides 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. 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 2024, BHS served 259 families, 943 individuals, and 621 of them children across all rehousing programs.Prevention programming is funded through federal, state, local, and private funding and includes: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 2024, BHS served 89 families, 240 individuals, and 143 of them children. KEYS is a different shelter diversion program for youth age 18-24. BHS works with parenting youth as our specialty in the national youth homelessness project, working with individuals in the age range who are often doubled up and at risk of becoming fully homelessness if not for our intervention toward housing stabilization and increased income. In 2024, BHS served 20 families, 48 individuals, and 27 of them 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. In 2024, BHS served 89 families, 359 individuals, 252 of them children.In 2024 BHS Housing Stabilization programs combined served, 457 families. These families included 1,582 individuals, 1,030 of whom were children. 848021 11020 Bethany House Family Services Department programs address the multi-generational aspect of family homelessness by providing parents with the life skills for positive parenting and by teaching children to make healthy choices.The Positive Parenting, Family Nights, Nutrition, Health, and Safety programs are some of the activities facilitated by the Family Services department or community partners, and are designed to 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 multi-generational cycle of poverty and homelessness is to be broken. In 2024, 164 therapeutic groups held in Kidz Zone; 216 children were identified as special needs and 55 were diagnosed dual diagnosis; 807 referrals including 4C for Children, JFS for Childcare, Safe Keep/Pack & Play, CAA Headstart Homes based program, Cradle Cincinnati, Every Child Succeeds/Help Grow, Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank, and Kaleidoscope-Co Stars to mention a few; and 23 outing with 331 combined parent and child participants.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. In 2024, 839 life skills groups were held.Through the nutrition program, families are provided three meals and two snacks per day. 220947 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. 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 three agencies within the Family Housing Partnership (FHP) is unique in Cincinnati's social services arena, and today the partnership is stronger than ever. In 2024, the FHP Agencies, Bethany House Services, Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cincinnati, 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. 220947 8699660 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 217 0 1 97 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 19 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 OH X X X Crystal Holliday 5139211131 4769 Reading Rd Cincinnati OH 45237 Vincent D Boddy Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sr Lynn Heper SC Trustee - Exit 04/24 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 Peg Moertl Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela A Webb Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nahamani Yisrael Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Megan J McCuen Trustee - Exit 08/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lucy A Crane Trustee - Exit 04/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gregory W Olson Trustee - Exit 10/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gina L Bannister Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 David L Tramontana Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Darin C Hall Trustee - Exit 04/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cornelious A Chambliss Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Charles Thomas Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Catherine A Kitchin Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn K Washburn President 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Albert C Smitherman Trustee - Exit 04/24 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Wiandt Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Steven Stefanuou Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Erica Parker Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Lewis Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Leugers Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Mahoney Trustee - Started 11/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 Blake Must Trustee - Started 11/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Dierkers COO 40.00 1.00 X 148910 0 4744 Crystal Holliday CFO 40.00 1.00 X 109530 0 19454 258440 0 24198 2 0 1 0 David Rental 5535 Colerain Avenue Cincinnati OH 45239 Landlord 340915 Omnia 360 1201 Glendale Milford Rd Cincinnati OH 45215 Facility Maintenance 307943 Vici Cincinnati PO Box 9422 Cincinnati OH 45209 Landlord 166709 1562 Ruth Ave LLC 8595 Beechmont Ave Ste 103 Cincinnati OH 45255 Landlord 145396 IMS Solutions Group LLC PO Box 746512 Atlanta GA 30374 IT Support 128196 5 147554 303732 6874296 4497164 342339 11822746 Rental Income 900002 293819 293819 293819 249577 249577 754880 691834 63046 63046 63046 84936 303732 89459 -4523 -4523 Refunds 900099 4216 4216 4216 12428881 293819 0 312316 3645833 3645833 282639 201168 47454 34017 2947263 2083948 495808 367507 43174 32883 7096 3195 221198 168473 36354 16371 259386 184763 42629 31994 80814 80814 36125 9462 18588 8075 11559 11559 563653 363411 144755 55487 221229 154440 36871 29918 1531382 1226357 206236 98789 36142 35137 138 867 16663 14344 1635 684 75508 68144 1212 6152 70014 52370 13114 4530 Food 488619 453296 1040 34283 Miscellaneous 49106 5631 35862 7613 Support contracts 19148 19148 10599455 8699660 1200313 699482 2074067 3048632 489341 414961 1501640 2677746 2210931 2305273 12557900 12557900 31385 41132 1009279 503900 458963 505379 2222608 2368558 12032904 11729248 33579739 35648829 403373 303828 12771401 13009501 13174774 13313329 X 18592291 19737999 1812674 2597501 20404965 22335500 33579739 35648829 1829426 101109 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 13408563 10166490 10945466 9571135 11822746 55914400 13408563 10166490 10945466 9571135 11822746 55914400 59972 55854428 60710 121342 221072 223873 249577 876574 185554 10800 7212 2647 4216 210429 57001403 1228378 0.97990 0.97460 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 1 36125 0 0 0 36125 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. 2222608 11681 243256 97428 11559 2368558 2023585 25918 322646 139089 10452 2222608 2542411 23672 -407141 124341 11016 2023585 2333194 294604 72151 13236 2542411 2211509 827 187638 55762 11018 2333194 0.75000 0.25000 0 0 61082 61082 509333 242780 266553 13954 13954 0 260470 129574 130896 164440 117592 46848 505379 Operating lease Right of use asset 11729248 11729248 Security Deposits 17090 Operating Leases 12992411 13009501 X 12518431 101109 101109 12417322 11559 11559 12428881 10587896 0 10587896 11559 11559 10599455 Part V, Line 4: The organization's endowment consists of funds established to provide income to operations.
