Average % from each Organization
Findings
• The average percentage of clients who received services from HSF nonprofits
were 69%.
• Please note, we did not include information from Center For Respite Care in
the demographic percentages.
• However, they did mention that nearly 100 percent of their patients are
sent from hospitals and they determine who the organization receives.
Lastly, each patient is a unique percentage as some may use 30 nights and
some 100.
• According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics5 (BLS), there are differences among the race
and ethnicity groups associated with many factors, not all of which are measurable.
• The composition of the labor force consists of African Americans and Asians constituting
about 13 percent and 6 percent. Regarding the labor force participation, the participation
rate for Asians was 63.5 percent; Whites, 62.8 percent; and African Americans, 62.3
percent.
• However, among adult men (20 years and older) in the largest race and ethnicity groups,
at 69%, African Americans were least likely to participate in the labor force.
• Among adult women (20 years and older), at 62.4 %, African Americans are more likely to
participate in the labor force. Jobless rates varied considerably by race and ethnicity.
American Indians and Alaska Natives (6.6 percent) and Blacks (6.5 percent) had the highest
unemployment rates (pre-coronavirus data)

• The Institute of Women’s Policy6 comprised a report called The Status of Black Women in the
United States. According to the report, Black women experience intimate partner violence at
higher rates than women overall. More than two-fifths of Black women experience physical
violence by an intimate partner during their lifetimes, compared with 31.5 percent of all women.
• More disturbingly, Black women are 2.5 times more likely to be murdered by men than white
women. In the overwhelming majority of these cases, Black women are at an especially high risk
of homicide by men compared with all women.
• The Human Rights Campaign7 reported that at least 26 transgender or gender non-conforming
people were fatally shot or killed by other violent means in 2019. According to the report, 91% of
transgender women killed were African American, 81% were under the age of 30, and 68% lived
in the South.

Addiction Prevention
• In 2015, the NAACP8 conducted a National Survey on Drug Use and Health. About 17 million
Caucasians and 4 million African Americans reportedly used an illicit drug within the last month.
• African Americans represent 12.5% of illicit drug users, but 29% of those arrested for drug
offenses and 33% of those incarcerated in state facilities for drug offenses.
• The American Psychological Association9 conducted a review on The Ethnicity and Health in
America Series: Substance Abuse and Addiction in the African-American Community. According
to the APA, 27 million Americans reported dependence or misuse of illicit or prescription drugs.
However, there is a disproportionate rate of drug arrests for African-Americans.
• In addition, members of racial and ethnic minority groups are more likely to experience barriers
that impede their ability to access substance abuse treatment.
• In 2017, the CDC10 reported population percentages of African Americans over the age of 12,
participating in drug use:
o 13.1% participated in illicit drug use
o 11.6% participated in marijuana drug use
o 1.3% misused prescription psychotherapeutic drugs
• Despite the increased diversity in the older adult population, the more rapidly
changing racial/ethnic composition of the population under age 18 relative to
those ages 65 and older has created a diversity gap between generations.
• Catholic Charities of Southwest Ohio helps local seniors with their Senior
Companions program. Last year, their clients reported increased social
support thanks to the Senior Companions program.
