Navient Foundation supports local family homeless shelter
May 17 2018 - 10:00AM
Families facing homelessness have a second chance at achieving
housing stability with the support of Bethany House Services. The
Navient Foundation, the company-sponsored philanthropic fund,
donated $6,500 to the nonprofit. The grant will support services to
families in the shelter including food, clothing, life skill
classes, children’s programming and comprehensive case management.
“We are very grateful to Navient, both for their wonderful,
giving volunteers and for their grant, which helps to support our
mission,” said Susan Schiller, executive director, Bethany House
Services. “The homeless families we serve benefit from this
generosity.”
The nonprofit is committed to providing resources and shelter to
help at-risk families become self-sufficient. Founded in 1983, the
multi-faceted nonprofit strives to empower homeless and at-risk
families by providing them with re-homing services needed to avoid
future episodes of homelessness.
Since the beginning of 2018, the nonprofit has served 1,076
individuals in 286 families. Last year, the nonprofit began
providing a Permanent Supportive Housing Program, an initiative
that serves families with physically or mentally disabled
members.
“Bethany House Services acts as a haven for families facing
homelessness,” said Brian Hill, vice president, Navient. “The
nonprofit and its services have made a positive impact in our
communities and has helped many families get back on their
feet.”
Many of Bethany House Services’ programs extend to children to
provide a multigenerational approach to poverty and homelessness.
Other services provided to children include Stranger Danger, a
program designed to reduce the high rates of abuse among
economically disadvantaged children and Positive Parenting, an
initiative that promotes strong bonds between a child and their
parent.
