About this organization
Mission
Bethany House Services empowers homeless and at-risk families with the solutions to achieve housing stability and long-term self-sufficiency.
About
Bethany House Services (BHS) provides emergency shelter for families living on the streets, in their cars or abandoned buildings, and helps them achieve stable housing and income. The shelter meets each family's immediate needs for safety, housing, food and other necessities and provides a secure environment for parents to plan for their futures. The principles of Trauma Informed Care guide all interactions with mothers and children to provide psychological as well as physical support. In 2019, Bethany House sheltered 294 families, 1,174 individuals, 797 of them children. BHS social workers help parents identify the causes of their homelessness and provide support to overcome barriers to housing. These case managers assist families to develop a budget and a plan to establish employment or benefits; guide the search for housing; and establish connections with community resources. Mental Health assessment and counseling is provided by a mental health clinician on-site at the shelter and at home when the clients exit shelter. Every parent who enters shelter has experienced trauma and stress; all are referred to a mental health clinician for support. He/she listens, counsels, conducts assessments and refers clients to community mental health care providers for follow-up if needed. BHS provides Life Skills education to all adults while they are in shelter. The topics cover information vital to the successful transition of families from homelessness to stable housing. Life Skills classes teach parents the basics of independent living. Budgeting, finding a job, effective parenting, education resources, nutrition, housekeeping, tenant rights/responsibilities and other vital topics are presented. Children's Programming addresses the multigenerational aspect of family homelessness by providing parents with the skills for "positive parenting and by teaching the children in shelter to make healthy life choices. These high-risk children learn the importance of education, nutrition, health, self-esteem and non-violent conflict resolution. Children experiencing signs of traumatic stress or other issues are referred for counseling to our mental health partners.
