Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB) meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

The Early Childhood Education Program operates four Head Start preschools with capacity for 641 children ages 3 to 5 living in low-income neighborhoods to prepare physically, socially, and academically for kindergarten. According to the charity, at the end of the 2009-2010 school year, 82% of 533 preschoolers assessed were “ready” in eight studied learning domains: Physical Health, Gross & Fine Motor Coordination, Science, Approaches to Learning, Creative Arts, Language & Literacy, Math, and Social/Emotional development. The Anna Louise Inn assists women who need affordable housing by offering them safe accommodations and a supportive community environment. According to the charity, in 2009, 251 women stayed in rooms at the Inn. Through its Off the Streets Program, Cincinnati Union Bethel assisted women struggling to break free from prostitution and addiction by offering them safety, treatment, and support through peer staff. According to the charity, 94 women were assisted through this program in 2009 and of the 51 women who stayed in the program for at least 30 days, 100% reduced their substance use and involvement in prostitution, and 80% returned to school or obtained employment.
