Bio
Kevin Alex Mathew, MSW
Beth has done an exceptional job as the Executive Director at JOURNEYS l The Road Home. One of my favorite reoccurring memories at JOURNEYS was saying good morning to Beth and then hearing her crack a joke or saying something else that was funny. Even on the days when I felt that I had so many work responsibilities going on, Beth always seemed available just to talk and to provide encouragement. Through her leadership, I have seen many advancements that JOURNEYS has made and her goals for the agency have always been client focused. In addition, whenever there was a client issue, Beth was immediately able to end the conflict. Furthermore, Beth made my job easier by setting up the ground work on a direct employment partnership with a company that was affiliated with one of the JOURNEYS’ board members. I am also thankful to her for trusting me with the vocational program and letting me know continuously that I was doing a great job. Beth is full of passion and wisdom and I’m glad that I had the honor of working with her. I have learned so much from her.

She always has her door open and is always open to staff whether it is for supervision or just suggestions.She encourages staff, mentors them and helps them reach their goals, professionally and personally. Beth has been a great mentor and friend to me. I am honored to work for her.

JOURNEYS | The Road Home is the premiere regional agency providing services, shelter and housing to homeless individuals in the northwest suburbs of Cook County. JOURNEYS was created because of community need, has grown in response to community need, and continues to fill service gaps in the region as they present. At JOURNEYS | The Road Home, we serve people from all walks of life. Homelessness does not discriminate and can be chronic or situational. It affects a variety of people including families with children, young adults, and senior citizens. The causes for homelessness can range from a lack of affordable housing to mental illness or chemical dependency. Family problems, domestic violence and abuse, disability, poverty and even a series of insurmountable bad luck can lead to homelessness. At Journeys, we work to provide intervention and support to address the root cause of homelessness, and lead people back to a stable environment. As the Executive Director I am responsible for setting the vision and leadership for growing programs to meet the needs of the community; oversight and management of senior leadership team; development of budget and strategic plan.
