Causes: Child Abuse Prevention, Child Day Care, Children & Youth, Crime & Law, Domestic Violence, Family Violence Shelters, Homeless & Housing, Housing & Shelter
Mission: Providence House protects at-risk children and supports families through crisis, strengthening communities to end child abuse and neglect.
Results: Last year (FY 18-19):-98% of our children were successfully reunited with their parent or guardian. -65% of our highest-risk parents or guardians who received intensive family support services felt their family stability increased. -89% of parents or guardians were fully engaged in our recommended family preservation services. A 2016 long-term outcomes study conducted by Case Western Reserve University, published in Volume 61 of Children and Youth Services Review, affirmed our belief that our family preservation services have the greatest impact on our families' long-term stability and reduction of foster care placements following our services - 82% of children in the study did not enter foster care. An external evaluation completed by researchers from the Begun Center at Case Western Reserve University further proved the long-term effectiveness of our services by showing that Providence House clients are 73.4% more likely to be employed, 16.1% more likely to have their own house/apartment, and 33% more likely to have increased income after using our services.
Target demographics: children, aged newborn to twelve, whose families are experiencing a crisis.
Direct beneficiaries per year: 320 children from 162 families, plus 105 families who received basic need items and two cohorts of families through our Community Education and Resiliency Program
Geographic areas served: Greater Cleveland Area
Programs: -Our traditional Crisis Nursery, which offers emergency shelter and crisis care services for up to 20 children at a time. -Our Pediatric Crisis Nursery, which serves up to 10 children at a time who also have medical conditions. -Our Family Center, which hosts our family preservation services and includes areas for private onsite family visitation, parent education, case management, trauma services, and Aftercare support sessions. -Our Emergency Placement Program, in partnership with the Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS), which allows children in DCFS custody to benefit from the same shelter and care as children served through our traditional programming until a long-term placement can be identified. -Our Community Education and Resiliency Program, which brings our case management, parent education, trauma, and other prevention services to families in the community, giving them the tools to increase stability, build supportive relationships, and increase resiliency and parenting capacity.
