Since its opening on October 2017, Bethany House has welcomed more than 135 women and 54 small children. They come from 30 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and South and Central America. The average length of stay is 10 months. Most arrived in this country as unaccompanied children seeking asylum. They have ‘aged out’ of the children’s detention centers. Most take ESL, GED or high school classes. Several women at Bethany House have been able to attend local colleges.
