Shelter Diversion prevents families with adequate resources from becoming homeless, while post-shelter support prevents a recurrence of homelessness. Our emergency shelters provide safety, food, clothing, case management, children’s programs, and adult life skills classes for families who are actively experiencing homelessness. Rapid re-housing programs, considered to be the best housing practice for alleviating homelessness, provides financial assistance and supportive services with the goal of stabilizing the family as quickly as possible.  Bethany House serves parenting and pregnant youth through the HUD-funded Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program, which moves high-risk young parents into housing as quickly as possible.
