If I could give the Bethany house negative stars, I would. I called at the beginning of July and was told I had a spot in their shelter because I met the criteria needed for admittance. I was told they were closed for now working on renovating the shelter and that I could move in August 1st. Come August 1st, when I hadnt heard anything from them called again and was told 2 more weeks for renovations to be finished. Well, 2 more weeks came and went and I called again and they said renovations will be ongoing for a bit. We are now into September and I just called asking when I could move in, only to be told that the lady who accepted me had no right to accept me and that I am not a candidate for the shelter. Really?? I am homeless with my 4 year old son and fled hundreds of miles to come to this shelter and over 2 months later, you tell me I dont qualify?!?! Get it together, Bethany House! The way you handled this situation was anything but Christ like, which is your mission. I am disgusted and feel gaslit by your staff! This is unacceptable.

I love Bethany house, it was more than what I expected, everyone that works there is awesome and I love ms Becky and I love how they still keep in contact with you after you leave. I’m so happy I found them; Bethany house is truly a blessing!

I LOVE THE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FROM OFFICE STAFF AND BIBLE STUDY AND LIFE COACH, THERAPY ( MSS BECKY IS THE BEST)

This organization provides long-term care to women fleeing domestic violence. It really gives women and their kids the positive and practical resources they need to get their feet on solid ground. Its the closest you can get to a real home environment.

This place is like family lot of support caring and safe

Awesome organization that helps women and children escaping domestic violence. The staff is amazing!

This review comes 20 years late, but my mom and I came to Bethany house when i was younger. We didn’t speak much English, and we had nowhere else to turn when trying to run for our lives, fleeing the terror that was my dad’s abuse. From what i recall, they unfortunately did have a 2-week cap on how long you could stay, but I believe this policy has changed since 1995 lol. There was a pastor here whose name i can’t remember, but she helped us find a place to live and pointed us in the right legal direction for getting my mom divorced from my dad. I really don’t know what we would have done—or if we would even still be alive and in America—without Bethany House.

Dear Sir or MadameI came to Bethany House on Dec 17, 2013 because I needed help and thought that Bethany House was based upon Christian values, but I came there and found out that I had to go through an intake as they call it. This was done by four ladies, and two of them were questioning me with grueling and tormenting questions about where I received money for the Metro and funding for the school that I plan to attend.I started calling BHNV in September of 2013 and I spoke with Becky (who was by the way) was very kind; and I don’t know the young ladies names-Miss Becky could tell you, but their positions seem to be over Miss Becky-(Go figure). These young women are very inexperienced and I don’t say that just because I am older; and I believe these ladies have a college background, but you can’t teach compassion (you either have or you don’t.) The two ladies have no firsthand knowledge of ever being abused themselves.. Their questions tell on them. They use you as a ginny-pig for their interns, if you are borderline suicidal (Don’t go to BHNV they will have you over the bridge.The two ladies kept asking me about my job or lack of one of them said she was a manager and the other case manager. (If I had a job would I go there) be for real. They kept asking me why I didn’t have a job (Have they walked in my shoes?) and why my daughter or son can’t support me (they have their own lives) and live with other people not to mention it none of their business. (Who on earth sits down and says to themselves (I know what I want out of life my wish –to go stay in a shelter. No one says that! No one! If BHNV offered a new apartment rent free for 6 months –yes I would get in line for that. I refused to be treated like dirt because I am unemployed at this time and need housing. Also they kept asking me where I applied for jobs like I was a two year old. Bethany House and other Domestic Violence shelters have to stop hiring women with no experience or just college degrees-they need to hire women of all ages who have been through something -like lived on their own since 13 or so, sexual abused, or battered, but turned their lives around. I am trying to turn my life around and get back on track with a place to stay and go from there. I thought Bethany House was based on Christian values but the young ladies didn’t seem to know anything about being a Christian, while the African lady working there was the worst. ( I could see and hear the hate in her heart) and I am an African American. She tried to treat me like dirt because I was unemployed and needed a place to stay. I would have never gone there, if I knew ahead of time of that phony meeting.Was it recorded? It should have been. I will end out by saying something needs to be done about these shelters for women, and it should be mandatory that the people hired have compassion, know what it is like, have a willing heart to help.Thank you
