2016 Impact Report

BE THANY h o use services Letter from the PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD

Dear Friends of Bethany House Services, As I pen this letter, one word keeps popping into my head when I think of Bethany House—Gratitude. I am extremely grateful for all of you, our wonderful volunteers and supporters. Without your dedication, we could never begin to offer the services we do. I am grateful for our dedicated, energized staff led by Susan Schiller. Their commitment and enthusiasm was evident when they received the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition Agency of the Year Award. I am grateful for all of our dedicated Board and Committee members who serve hundreds of hours every year planning and accomplishing our mission. On behalf of the thousands of homeless children and their parents we serve each year, I add their gratefulness. Lastly, I am humbled and grateful to God for helping guide all of us in achieving the true mission of helping our fellow man. It has been an exciting year of change. As a result of tripling our bed size, we moved out of the three scattered sites and into new apartment buildings on McHenry & Iroll. While this brings us somewhat closer to our hub, we continue to experience issues with housing all of our programs under multiple roofs. The consolidation effort continues to be our main focus. The Facilities Assessment Committee continues to explore sites for a single facility to house all our families and staff. We have a program and base plan ready to execute once an acceptable site is found. The Development Committee and Advisory Board are engaged and ready to support this new facility. Our outcomes continue to improve and our finances are very solid.Y our contributions, increased grant funding and a focus on increased visibility are the reasons for this stability. The end result is that BHS continues to spend and use your dollars wisely and effectively. The number of new programs we offer and support has grown with our increased family sizes. People need a little help to move forward and mere handouts have proven ineffective. Bethany House staff go the extra mile to provide life skills and mentoring to help families break free of the homeless cycle. Staff provide encouragement, food, shelter, job search and budgeting assistance, as well as assure that children receive medical checkups and attend school each day. Providing for the needs of the entire family is the only proven way to help families rebuild their lives. Thanks for all of your support and encouragement. I am truly grateful for all you do to help us fulfill this vital mission.

Bob Inkrot Board President

Dear Bethany Friends— I am pleased to present the Bethany House 2016 Impact Report. You will notice a change in name and design from our past Annual Reports but one that underscores the growth of the agency and the impact of our work in the community. It is also a report that will emphasize our significant wins this past year—made possible by the charitable contributions of YOU, our donors. On the following pages you will see numbers and graphs, testimonials and quotes; you will find lists of unbelievably generous donors who inspire us every day. And throughout it all you will see the impact “our” work is making—and it truly is “our” work together. Bethany House can’t do it alone but relies on the help of others to change lives. The problem of family homelessness is too big and too complex for any one agency to change the tide. That is why Bethany’s role in the community continues to grow and our voice is more important than ever. As the largest family shelter in the community, we have a responsibility to participate at every level of government and to partner with every service provider and advocacy group to ensure our parents and their children get the help they need to reach their goal of housing stability and long-term self- sufficiency. You will see the growth in our services—both in emergency shelter and housing—and our involvement with the Family Housing Partnership as we work diligently with the other three family shelters to reach our goal of making family homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring. New partnerships with other service providers have led to enhanced services for our families. The ever-growing number of homeless and at- risk children we serve has led to new and enriched services for them. You will also see that changes have been made internally to support our growth in services. The agency’s infrastructure was strengthened with human resource expertise resulting in improved performance management and our fundraising capacity was enhanced with marketing expertise resulting in increased visibility in the community. It is the people at Bethany House who truly make the difference. Our energized, hands-on and dedicated Board is the best I have ever worked with in my 18 years as a non-profit Executive Director. These highly skilled professionals provide the expertise and guidance to advance our mission. The diligence and passion of our staff is truly inspiring and is the foundation for the advancements made in 2016. The true heroes in the story are the families themselves—their work is harder than all of ours combined. Finally, you, our supporters, are the ones making this meaningful change possible. So celebrate with us as we review the IMPACT you have had in 2016! My sincere gratitude to each of you,

Susan S. Schiller Executive Director

Post Shelter Support The best predictor of future homelessness is past homelessness which is one reason why Bethany House has always provided Post Shelter Support (PSS) to families after they exit the shelter. PSS prevents repeated episodes of homelessness. Although government contracts do not fund PSS and BHS has to cover the cost, it is money well spent. Emergency, one-time financial “After Care” assistance with past due utility bills, rent or a car repair can prevent the downward spiral to homelessness. In 2016 homeless families in shelters found themselves caught between two HUD mandated programs: Housing First and Coordinated Entry. BHS is trying to resolve the problems caused by Housing First requires that they find housing as Coordinated Entry; however, this is a system-wide quickly as possible—often before they have made problem that we cannot solve on our own. Since much progress on their case plan for overcoming BHS shelters over half of the homeless families in their barriers to employment, income, and housing our community, BHS is bearing the brunt of these stability.

Bethany Homes, a 24-unit apartment building owned and operated as a nonprofit by Bethany House, provides permanent, safe, affordable housing for economically disadvantaged individuals and families, most of whom are supported by a single female working provider.

HIGHLIGHTS Bethany Homes has experienced a turnaround since Bethany House assumed the property management in June 2014:

513-921-1131 | bethanyhouseservices.org 12 ANNUAL REPORT 2016 13 IMPACT 4 Raising Awareness

Family homelessness is hidden from view in our community with most people unaware that it even exists. As part of our outreach efforts to educate the community about family homelessness and to make people aware of Bethany House’s services, our 2016 marketing efforts yielded more TV, radio, and print coverage than ever before.

“I always love volunteering with Bethany House. It is amazing to see the benefits Bethany House provides to those in need. Every event they put on makes you want to do more and come back next year.” Alex, volunteer

As you have read throughout this report, 2016 was clearly a year of impact on every level. It was a year that included many challenges as well. The sheer number we served—595 families, 2,278 individuals and 1,559 children—challenged us daily. The weight of this responsibility is not lost on our staff or Board. Bethany House has a unique opportunity to change the trajectory of lives—to stop the cycle of homelessness and despair, of childhoods lost and generational poverty. To make the most of this opportunity, our Board and staff are working diligently to address our facility issues. Operating out of and maintaining six buildings is costly, inefficient, and impractical for service delivery. We need a single site shelter, with all of our 130 shelter beds (plus cribs) under one roof—with staff, programs and resources all in one building. One location would save valuable travel time between shelters, allowing case managers to spend more time with clients. A single location allows us to provide our high-quality programs and services to all families equally on a 24/7 basis. Today our Be an Ambassador for biggest problem is finding a property in the city Homeless Families where we can build a new facility.

A “perfect storm” of disasters in their lives led Monique and her 4-year-old son Darnell to Bethany House. Monique had worked at a local hospital for 5 years but lost her job when she became ill. After Monique recovered, she immediately began job hunting but employment was hard to find at that time. With no paychecks coming in but medical and other bills arriving regularly, she soon lost her apartment. Her parents had recently died and she had no place else to go. Her uncle told her about Bethany House.

Monique says that the emergency shelter services at BHS were a “godsend.” Determined to find a job and housing as quickly as possible, Monique worked cooperatively with her case manager and states, “My case manager was very special to me and kept me on course to achieve my goals.” Monique believes that “BHS is a stepping stone to get out of a rut and get on with your life.” She found a job before leaving shelter. Monique believes that her experience was positive because BHS “felt like family.” “My case manager Now a mother of four and a full-time Property Administrator, Monique was very special to me is “giving back.” She volunteers at Bethany House to provide support and kept me on course and guidance to the women who are now where she was a few years ago. As she says, “After all, I have been there, too.” Monique affirms to achieve my goals.” the impact of Bethany House programs on the lives of homeless families: “There is no magic wand for improving your life situation – you have to have the desire to change it yourself. The support I found at Bethany House empowered me to achieve much more than I could have imagined. And because of this empowerment, it is my absolute pleasure to give back to an organization that gave so much to me.” Darnell, now an 8th grader, will be entering St. Xavier High School in the fall. He is interested in computer graphics and technology and is considering possible careers in those fields. He participated in the recent Destination Imagination event in Cincinnati, a competition between 50 local schools which challenges students to demonstrate their critical thinking and technological skills. Darnell won the Sportsmanship Award and his team received a trophy for placing third in the competition. Congratulations to both Monique and Darnell and our very best wishes for continued success! 513-921-1131 | bethanyhouseservices.org 14 ANNUAL REPORT 2016 15 CLIENT STORY Finding Hope Again

Melissa had lost all hope. Hope for stability, hope for her children but most of all, hope for herself. After being an independent mother of two and on her own since she was 18, a run of bad luck led to depression, an inability to work and eventually, an eviction from her home of 13 years.

With nowhere to turn, she and her children entered Bethany House. Melissa at first found it very difficult to get involved. Her depression was overwhelming but she knew she had to let her case manager help her. She began to take advantage of the evening classes and wanted to learn as much as she could to help her family. She was able to enter the Rapid Re-Housing Program and moved into her own apartment with financial assistance from Bethany House. Melissa found her perfect job working in the activities department “Don’t give up at an assisted living center and after using the financial and budgeting skills she learned at Bethany House, decided to move to a more no matter what! affordable apartment that was in line with her new income.

Melissa’s daughter, Vanessa, is 18 and just received a contract to sign with a modeling agency. Melissa’s advice to anyone experiencing homelessness is, “Don’t give up no matter what! The shelter staff is there to help. Follow through and keep the faith because in the end, it will be worth it.”
