ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Friends of Bethany House Services,
I pen this letter as the new Board President and want to start with a heartfelt thanks to Steve Brinker
for his leadership, wisdom and counsel to BHS over the past 15 years. Steve laid a great foundation upon
which we can build and expand our mission.
Much has changed over the past year. Most notably, our board, staff and supporters have fully embraced
the growth and stretching that comes with the addition of the Mercy beds. Our organization tripled in
size over the past year.
One of the biggest challenges has been finding ways to overcome issues associated with the scattered
shelter sites. Simply put, to accommodate our growth, we need to consolidate and expand our current
operations to become more efficient, while still providing the same services and personal touch that is
the core of our mission.
Special thanks to the Facilities Assessment Committee who have met weekly to find new, closer,
temporary shelter facilities, studied an expanded facility, engaged a design firm and started the search
for a suitable location.
Thanks also to our wonderful and fully engaged Board, Executive Director and staff who continually step
up to the plate and lend a helping hand whenever the need arises.
Lastly, thanks to you— our wonderful volunteers and supporters. Please know that whatever small or
large gesture or help you provide translates tenfold to our women and children’s lives for many years to
come.
Please continue to help us fulfill this vital mission.
Bob Inkrot, President
LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
“Unbelievable growth” best describes 2015. Thanks to the foundation laid by Sr. Mary Stanton over three
decades, Bethany House was well prepared to take on the expansion across all of our services. In the past
we sheltered 1 of 10 homeless families in our community; today we shelter 5 of 10 homeless families.
Our housing program grew by 35% and we added a Shelter Diversion program.
The challenges were many—four shelter locations rather than one and all four buildings were built
in the late 1800’s. Just imagine the facility issues! We confirmed early on that the single site shelter
with 24 hour supervision and supports like we have at the Fairmount shelter is the best way to provide
shelter services for families. The year ended with our families relocated to newer, safer, and healthier
apartment buildings just two miles from Fairmount.
Our expansion of services called us to revisit our Mission, Vision and Core Values to ensure they not only
reflect all of our services but capture the essence of our work, the goals of our families and the guiding
principles for our interaction with others. We also found ourselves in need of a brand refresh and new
marketing materials to support our growth. The international branding company LPK provided their
expertise pro bono and you will see their work throughout this report.
2015 also marked the publication of Solutions for Family Homelessness, the community-wide plan
to make family homelessness rare, brief and nonrecurring. It was an honor to serve on the Steering
Committee and Bethany staff contributed on every phase of the project. At the same time our Board and
staff were writing a new strategic plan to guide Bethany House’s future.
I thank all of you for your support of our families and I invite you to join us in the important work that
lies ahead. Cincinnati’s increase in family homelessness reinforces the urgency of our efforts. The faces
of the 610 homeless children we sheltered this year show us how critical our work is. Together we can lift
families out of homelessness.

NEW MISSION, VISION AND CORE VALUES
2015 also brought changes to the Bethany House Mission, Vision and Core Values.
We wanted to ensure our Mission and Vision not only reflected the agency’s expansion of services but
captured the essence of our work and the end results for our families.
NEW MISSION
Bethany House Services
empowers homeless and
at-risk families with the
solutions to achieve
housing stability and longterm self-sufficiency.
NEW VISION
Our vision is to live in
a community where all
families have a place to
call home and no one
spends a night without
shelter.
NEW CORE VALUES
Core Values are our guiding principles and they define how Bethany
House relates to our employees, clients, and the external world.
They represent our highest priorities, guiding our decisions and
behaviors—they are the core of Bethany House’s soul.
Respect—We value, listen to, learn from and appreciate each
other, our clients, our volunteers, our donors and our community.
Empowerment—We encourage, build confidence, inspire, and
promote each person’s right to self-determination.
Integrity—We insist on absolute honesty, the highest standard
of conduct, and accountability to each other and to all of our
stakeholders.
Excellence—We demonstrate exceptional performance and service.
Collaboration—We work with each other and our community to
fulfill our mission and achieve our vision.
Hospitality—We welcome with compassion those in need of
housing and services.
TOMORROW, who will really care how fast we grew? Isn’t it more important to know what we are
building with our growth, and why? Measuring more is easy; measuring better is hard. Measuring
better requires a clear mission, an exciting vision and shared values. – Ron Hendrick
• Amy C. Pelicano, Development Director
ANNUAL REPORT 2015 2
2015 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Our 2015 Report to the Community is one
of unbelievable growth. The foundation of
our three decades of service to Cincinnati
prepared us well to take on this challenge.
In 2014 we sheltered 1 of 10 homeless families
in our community; in 2015 we sheltered 5 of
10 homeless families. In 2015 our Housing
program also grew by 35% and we added a
Shelter Diversion program.
SHELTER — In 2015, Bethany House sheltered
909 individuals, 610 of whom were children.
Shelter services were provided in four
locations—our original shelter in Fairmount and
in three apartment buildings located in Overthe-Rhine, Mt. Auburn and Walnut Hills. We
provided 45,275 bed nights and 129,552 meals.
NEW SHELTER DIVERSION PROGRAM —
Shelter Diversion diverts a homeless family
from the shelter placing them directly into
housing. Bethany House began this program in
June 2015 and served 33 families, for a total
of 119 individuals—84 were children.
FAMILY HOUSING PARTNERSHIP — 2,114
individuals from 665 families were served by
the four family shelters in Greater Cincinnati
in 2015. Bethany House is the managing
agency for this partnership.
BETHANY HOUSING PROGRAMS — In 2015
Bethany’s Rapid Re-Housing programs grew by
35% supporting the move of 175 families from
emergency shelters into permanent housing.
Of the 588 individuals served, 406 were
children. Positive Housing outcomes were
achieved by 99% of these families.
SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS —
1,353 volunteers donated 9,905 hours in
2015 to support our mission and our families.
BETHANY HOMES — In 2015 34 families
received permanent, safe and affordable
housing at Bethany Homes.
RECIDIVISM RATES — We monitor families
after they leave our shelter for two years
to see if they have returned to any of the
shelters in the area. Of those sheltered
at Bethany House in 2013 and 2014, 79%
remained in their homes and did not return
to homelessness.
Bethany House also provides Post Shelter
Support to families after they leave our
shelter. Of the 58 families who received Post
Shelter Support in 2013 and 2014, only three
families experienced another episode of
homelessness in 2015.
INFORMATION AND REFERRALS TO
COMMUNITY RESOURCES — Bethany House
responded to 10,859 calls for information and
referral for shelter and community resources.

HELPING A MOM KEEP HER KIDS SAFE
Orlanda Robinson has worked hard to keep her
three kids out of unsafe situations.
Living in New York four years ago, she said she was nearly killed in a
home invasion. She said she could not bear to stay in the apartment
complex where the crime happened, but there was nowhere else to
go. She and the children moved into a homeless shelter, until her
mother and siblings back in Cincinnati begged her to come.
In Cincinnati, she lived with her mom and mom’s boyfriend at first.
That, it turned out, wasn’t safe either. Once again, there was
nowhere to go. This time she turned to Bethany House.
“I was really broken.”
She lived by Bethany House rules and did her assigned chores. And
she said in her eight weeks there, the women and staff of Bethany
House helped her heal.
“I feel 100% better than I did a few months ago.”
Today, she and her kids – ages 11, 9 and 6 – live in an apartment
in the West End. She got a better job as a medical scheduler at a
hospital. Her kids politely greet a visitor to the apartment. Orlanda
tears up when she talks about the staff who helped her.
Ms. Debbie: “She was
uplifting and motivating to
me. She told others: ‘I
see a lot in her.’”
Ms. Kim, in charge of
Orlanda’s personal
program and who still
meets with her once
or twice a month:
“She helps me with
anything I need.’”
Orlanda still comes to
Bethany House periodically
to participate in services held
by church groups that rotate
through. She stays in touch with the
women who were there with her.
“If it weren’t for Bethany House and how they embraced
me and treated me there, I don’t know where I’d be.”
“I FEEL 100% BETTER
THAN I DID A FEW
MONTHS AGO.”
Ms. Karen, who worked overnight: “She prayed with me. She
believed in me more than I believed in myself at the time.”
Ms. Lana: “She was an inspiration.”
ANNUAL REPORT 2015 4
“THERE SHOULD BE MORE PLACES LIKE BETHANY HOUSE”
Cardinel Brooks has worked hard.
In addition to the direct help
and guidance Bethany House
provided, Cardinel says the
experience there with
other women “softened
my heart more. To see
women with kids going
through that, it got to
me.”
She found two jobs when she first moved to Cincinnati about 25
years ago – at a fast food restaurant and at a part-time security job.
But she could not make ends meet. She could not afford the most
basic need, a place to live.
Eventually, Cardinel found Bethany House. “They really put me on
my feet.” Over a couple of months, Bethany House helped her put
together a deposit and first month’s rent and set her up with a little
furniture.
Sometimes now she
helps other young
women herself, even
offering them space at her
apartment until they can get
on their feet.
That put her on a course that was good for her for several years. She
married. She and her husband lived in a home. She got new, better
work but continued to work two jobs.
And then a medical crisis struck. Cardinel’s husband had the first of
three strokes. He began to have seizures. He could no longer work.
He needed round-the-clock care. Money ran out.
“Thanks to Bethany House there is a homeless facility where mom,
dad, and their children can stay together.”
Cardinel moved her husband into a nursing home to make sure he
had a roof over his head and had care. But she became homeless
and alone.
“There should be more places like Bethany House.”
She turned again to Bethany House. They helped her get through
for a few weeks until she had enough money to get a place to live.
Today, she lives in an apartment on Glenway Avenue and spends
many days at the nursing home helping with the care for her
husband.
“THEY REALLY PUT
ME ON MY FEET.”

ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
It starts with one step.
Families come to Bethany House from
many different paths, life experiences
and circumstances.
No matter the twists and turns life has thrown
at them, they come to Bethany House seeking
the same thing, a place to find rest and
restoration. That’s what we provide: care and
comfort, community and support, encouragement
and inspiration, each leading them one step
closer to a home of their own.
