Brighton Center, at its very core, is a community-based agency invested in creating a better place for the people who live and work in Northern Kentucky. The needs of the community are the driving force behind the work we do in engaging all residents from young children to senior citizens.

Libby didn’t come to Brighton Center in the typical way. She came by way of a police officer after authorities found her in a domestic violence situation. When they realized she was not only 15 but also from out of state, they made the decision to bring her to Brighton Center’s Homeward Bound Shelter as a Safe Place referral. Libby was scared, hungry, and didn’t trust anyone on top of worrying about if she would be arrested or placed in the state’s custody. Staff at the Shelter feared Libby would run away and worked with her to build trust, letting her know that they would listen to what she wanted and what she thought would be best for her. Through building her trust, Shelter staff learned that Libby ran away from her home in Indiana, and had been missing for several months. As trust with staff continued to build, Libby revealed more about her life, a life that a child should never have to go through.

Tragedy can strike at any time, shaking the foundations of families’ lives. Rebecca was stably housed with ample income. Her three children were thriving in school and they were all together as a happy family. But everything changed in one day. Due to tragic circumstances outside of anyone’s control, she lost her housing. Still dealing with the loss, she eagerly worked to get back to a stable situation for herself and her children. She was couch-surfing with friends in Dry Ridge which bought her time to find full-time work in Florence. Because she had no reliable transportation, Rebecca had no choice but to move to a hotel closer to her job. Hotel living is expensive, and Rebecca found herself in a trap: although she had ample income from a full-time service position, she was paying upwards of a thousand dollars a month to keep a roof over her head. She continued to work the long hours, determined to save what she could to find safe and stable housing. Since then, Rebecca has been working with a Family Development Specialist toward her self-sufficiency goals of saving and finding resources in the area to help get her into housing. With help from Brighton Center and other local agencies she was able to move into affordable housing in Williamstown. She was then able to save for a reliable vehicle getting her to and from work. Rebecca went from homeless, grieving, and hopeless to being stably housed, employed, and self-sufficient. The tragedy she survived, and the aftermath she has worked hard to overcome have granted her greater wisdom and understanding of the situations families in our community face. With this deeper level of wisdom, her biggest hopes and dreams now are to find employment at an agency like Brighton Center to give back to the community through her work.

Laurie had always supported herself and with no other household income, she found herself in a difficult situation to maintain her bills and mortgage. Laurie decided to rent out her condominium and utilize savings to help make ends meet in addition to what she received from Unemployment. Laurie had never had to ask for help before and prided herself on her self-sufficiency prior to her job loss.

Bonnie, age 67, moved to Two River’s Apartments four years ago after years of owning the home she raised her family in. Her health made it hard to keep up with the demands of caring for a house and a friend who already lived at the apartments recommended it. Bonnie, a mother of three, grandmother of 10, and great-grandmother of 16 enjoys the simple life of living in a complex for seniors. Her favorite aspect of living at Two Rivers Apartments is the green space around the complex and the rooftop garden where residents grow flowers, fresh herbs, and veggies. When Bonnie is not on the go with her family, she enjoys easy access to close by amenities such as the grocery store and all of the activities offered at Two Rivers Apartments like the exercise program, visitors such as a magician, end of month birthday celebrations for residents, and helping Brighton Center with the Holiday Drive in December. Bonnie, a senior living at Two Rivers Apartments, enjoys the green space around the apartments.

16 TOGETHER, WE MAKE IT POSSIBLE

Starting with Terry Horan more than 30 years ago, Horan has shared their values of integrity, commitment, accountability, social responsibility, and innovation with us. How are they doing that?

First, our employee benefits – their work has enabled us to offer a strong health benefit and pension plan for our employees. This is critically important to our employees. Horan understands who we are and what our needs are. They’ve led us through significant changes in the law and continue to make sure we are informed and educated. Judi Meyer and her team work hard to bring us the best possible health plan available and couldn’t be more responsive to our needs.

Second would be financial support from sponsorship of our events to ordering food through Center Table, Catering with a Purpose they are clearly invested in our success.

Third, volunteerism and leadership – they have given up many Saturdays to help families at the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, and they’ve provided leadership on our Board of Directors through Tim Powell and now Mike Napier.

These are some of the things they’ve done, but nothing can replace the sense of trust, respect, and confidence they’ve built with us over the years. We know that Terry and all the good folks at Horan are just a phone call away to offer advice and support, they care about our future. A True Community of Support Partner to We want to thank everyone at Horan for the incredible work they do and Brighton Center & Our Customers. for the investment they have made in our relationship and mission. They are a tremendous partner!
