Safe at HEARTH

Rita’s parents had both passed away by the time she was 32. She was 23 when

she married her first husband (Jim); their first two years of marriage were bliss.

Then, at 25 she had her daughter and everything changed. Jim’s own father had

been abusive towards him and his mother. His mother, having no financial

means, left his father and unfortunately left Jim as well. Jim finally could no

longer take the anger his father placed on him and re-connected with his mother

at 16. Rita thinks something in him snapped when he became a parent. The first 6

months after their daughter was born was a nightmare. “Every day he came home

angry at me, I started to wonder if it was my fault, what had I done to make him

so angry.” Rita couldn’t take it anymore; she took her infant daughter and left.

She struggled while on her own, but she made it, supporting both her and her daughter by working odd jobs. Out on her own, she

started dating again; that’s when she met Frank. Frank was wonderful. He doted on her and her daughter. She told him about her past

and her abuser. Frank was sweet and caring, promising that would never be the case with him. Frank and Rita had two beautiful

children of their own. Frank started asking Rita to marry him, but she was unsure. Sometimes Frank exhibited controlling behaviors

and that scared her. The more times she said no, the angrier he became, eventually using the same type of abuse to manipulate and

hurt her that her ex-husband had used. “He snapped after our second child was born, he couldn’t handle the responsibility and he

started to drink.”

She threw him out of her house after he put his hands on her. Unfortunately they were renting from Frank’s mother, and instead she

kicked Rita and her grandchildren out. Rita stayed with a close friend for 3 weeks, but she knew it couldn’t be long-term, that’s when

she found HEARTH. “I spent 9 hours calling churches, shelters, anywhere that could help me. Nobody could take my children and I.

I was frustrated and had given up. HEARTH was my last call that day, and when I finally heard they could help me, I broke down.”

The move in process only took her a few days. It was difficult for Rita at first; she was in her 30’s and felt like a failure. She didn’t

want to rely on others to take care of her and her children. It didn’t take long for that mentality to change. Once she realized she and

her children were in the safest possible place they could be, she started thinking differently. “The people there want to help you. The

best thing about HEARTH for me at least, was working with a case manager to learn how to cope with stressful situations; the

therapy they provided to my kids was amazing! I now feel that my kids can tackle any situation!”

Rita credits HEARTH’s case management with teaching her and her children how to have healthy relationships, and the importance

education plays in life. Rita left HEARTH 15 years ago, some things are still difficult for Rita, due to the physical abuse she suffered,

she has trouble focusing and can no longer drive, but that hasn’t stopped her. Now she and her children are thriving. “All 3 of my

children are successful, I re-connected with my high school sweetheart and we are engaged, I have a great job as a Chef.”

Rita’s biggest takeaway was learning she could handle anything life threw at her and to not be afraid to ask for help. “When I came to

HEARTH, I had one bag for a family of 4, when I left; it took me 7 trips!” Rita stresses to other’s the importance of transitional

housing, and believes our world needs more places like HEARTH. “What I want to say to families that are there now, be grateful.

You have to take baby steps; don’t hold yourself to anyone’s standards but your own. Being at HEARTH and working the program is

a success in itself. Be proud of yourself, you’ve come this far, you can keep going!”

Rita’s Story

A Safe Place Matters-

A letter from our Executive Director:

Judy Eakin

Can you believe summer is almost over! While many people have more free time in

the summer, HEARTH has been very busy! One of the most important things to

happen for HEARTH this summer was having testimony entered into the June 6th

House Financial Services Committee meeting in Washington, D.C. Congressman

Keith Rothfus, a long-time supporter of HEARTH’s mission, entered this testimony

on our behalf. Congressman Rothfus is a part of the housing sub-committee; he is

concerned about how difficult it is for homeless children and youth to obtain housing

assistance and services through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s

narrowed definition of homelessness.

HEARTH is a part of the National Coalition for Homelessness Solutions; this

Coalition aims to create a consistent definition of homelessness across all government programs. This would

help organizations like HEARTH to effectively intervene and assist those families out of homelessness. You

might have read the article about HEARTH in the ‘Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’ this past July. ‘Behind the SEEN’

reporter Natalie Bencivenga interviewed me to better understand the many roles that non-profits play in

shaping legislation. We are thankful that we can effectively work with both parties on what we feel is a

bi-partisan issue… helping homeless families become safely housed and economically self-sufficient.

Bill HR 1511 is titled the “Homeless Children and Youth Act of 2017.” It is an amendment to the

“McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.” What does all this mean you might ask? Different government

programs define homelessness differently. This act seeks to make sure that if the Department of Education, or

one of seven other departments, defines a child or youth as homeless, that all government programs will

provide the same services they give to someone who their particular agency recognizes as homeless.

Consider this, statistics show that homeless children are twice as likely as their peers to repeat a grade. Many

mothers see the risk factors associated with homelessness and will do whatever they can to keep their child in

school, including staying with an abusive partner. Homelessness happens at the intersections of violence and

poverty. HEARTH is able to help families navigate through that intersection and become self-sufficient.

However, many supportive services that our families receive come from outside supports. Having one general

definition for homelessness will help our organization to serve individuals based on their own specific needs.

Stability is the key to a child’s educational success.

Bill HR 1511 is so important. It means that services for homeless youth can distributed to ALL homeless

youth. We as a community have a responsibility to look out for the children living around us. I am proud to say

that HEARTH has volunteers, staff, and a Board of Directors that recognizes and is intent on working to fill

this need within their own community. A home is more than a roof over your head, a home is a safe place and

to HEARTH, A Safe Place Matters.

Terminology

HEARTH uses a lot of terms and acronyms , here are some you’ll see quite frequently!

ACE’s– Adverse Childhood Experiences

HCYA - Homeless Children and Youth Act



A letter from our Board President:

Mike DiChiazza Can you believe it is August? It feels like this summer flew by. While many of us

have been vacationing, hanging by the pool, and enjoying the ease of summer,

big things are still happening at HEARTH. Every July we host our Annual Meeting,

where we share new information about our program and re-cap what has happened in the

prior year. In the winter newsletter, I talked to you about ACE’ (Adverse Childhood

Experiences). At this year’s Annual Meeting, HEARTH hosted a panel, which consisted

of important HEARTH volunteers and community partners. This panel (moderated by

Chad Dorn of ‘Trying Together’) informed our supporters about how HEARTH and our

community partners play a role in addressing ACE’s in out clients lives. I learned so much

from Chad and our panelists. I would like to share that information with you.

Did you know that a person is most likely to experience homelessness within the first year

of their life? The second most likely age to experience homelessness is between the ages of one and five. This is a

huge deal! The early stages of interaction are crucial to child’s development. At HEARTH, one of our panelists was

Michelle Meager, a representative of the Early Head Start program. As many of you may already know, HEARTH is

in a partnership with Early Head Start and we have a classroom on-site! This means that during those formative years,

a child not only receives a safe and stable home at HEARTH, but they also receive safe and stable childcare in the

same building with Early Head Start.

Did you know that Children Exposed to Toxic Stress are more likely to have health problems, three times the rate of

emotional and behavioral problems, and twice as likely as their peers to repeat a school grade, be expelled or

suspended, or drop out of high school? Thanks to partners like panelist Shannon Schaeffer at Crisis Center North, our

families have access to on-site counseling. This means that mom has a helping hand at intervention before some of

these problems take root.

The statistic that floored me the most however, was the fact that these children are twice as likely to go hungry. This is

HUGE. Thankfully, HEARTH has an on-site food pantry with a dedicated volunteer, panelist Erika Kolod, to make

sure our families are receiving food and proper nutrition. Erika takes special care to make sure our families have

accessibility to nutritious and fun foods! On this note, many of our families also do not have access to clothing,

another panelist, volunteer Eileen Foster, has started the “New Life, New Look Closet”. This ensures that mom and

her children have adequate and stylish clothing available on-site. In Eileen’s words, “We are building mom’s

confidence by helping her to feel her best, when a child sees that it teaches them a valuable lesson about their own

self-worth.”

What we learned from Chad is that when children have protective factors they are incredibly resilient.

Having these factors such as, safe, stable, and nurturing relationships, concrete supports for families in need, and

parental resilience, will actually mitigate the consequences of ACE’s. Perhaps the biggest protective factor is what

Chad calls a “triple A” (always-available adult).

At HEARTH, there are many supportive adults present, from volunteers to staff. I am proud to be a part of an

organization with so many “Triple A’s” willing to lend a helping hand. Thanks to supporters like those of you reading

this letter, HEARTH is able to put various programs on-site that will continue to diminish these ACE’s in our kids’

lives!
