| Bethany House Services Receives Award |
The Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition awarded Bethany House
Services (BHS) the Julie Martin Award for exemplary services to the
Greater Cincinnati homeless population and dedication to the mission
of ending homelessness in Greater Cincinnati. The award was
presented at the Homeless Coalition’s annual banquet on Dec. 7.
“Family homelessness is hidden in our city. Our families are silent….
they have no voice,” says Susan Schiller, BHS Executive Director.
“We hope this award will call attention to the plight of homeless
families in Cincinnati. For 33 years Bethany House has worked to
empower these families to achieve housing stability and long term self-
sufficiency.”
In accepting the award, Schiller acknowledged the dedication and
hard work of the Bethany staff. Bethany House Services is the largest
family shelter in Cincinnati, serving over half of the area’s homeless
families. This year BHS will shelter more than 1,100 people — almost
800 will be children. Over 200 families, including 550 children will
receive rental assistance and case management.
Serving more than 1,900 individuals annually, Bethany House
Services is a leader in the community in family sheltering, permanent
housing for homeless families, post shelter support, and affordable
housing. Visit www.bethanyhouseservices.org to learn about donation
