Alexandra House Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

Community program legal advocacy services: many participants who have experienced domestic and sexual violence do not require shelter, but do need civil and criminal legal advocacy and support services. In 2025, 532 program participants were served by our criminal justice and civil legal advocacy services. Criminal legal advocates partner with local law enforcement agencies so that victims of domestic violence receive the assistance of an advocate immediately following a domestic assault or domestic-related crime. In 2025, alexandra house received 522 referrals from law enforcement; of those referrals, 356 victims were identified via lethality assessment screening conducted by first responders as high risk and were connected to an advocate from the scene. All other victims were referred to advocacy services by law enforcement shortly after the incident. Criminal legal advocates provided crisis intervention, ongoing support, and crime victim advocacy throughout criminal court proceedings to include accompanying victims to court hearings; serving as a liaison to prosecutors; helping victims understand the criminal court process and crime victim rights; and assisting victims in accessing resources like crime victim assistance, reparations, and victim notification. In addition to criminal legal advocacy, advocates also assisted victims/survivors in their efforts to obtain a protection order. In 2025, legal advocates assisted 128 victims with their protection order, including assisting 98 victims in filing their protection order paperwork and providing free legal representation to 26 victims through our ofp project. Hospital advocacy services: alexandra house advocates also work with victims of domestic and sexual violence identified by health care personnel. In partnership with mercy hospital and mercy hospital - unity campus and select allina affiliated clinics, advocates provide in-person, patient follow-up to victims of domestic or sexual violence 24-hours/day. When the victim has been sexually assaulted, we also work closely with the sexual assault nurse examiners (sane) program to support the victim through the evidentiary exam, assist them in reporting the assault should they wish to file a police report, and provide ongoing emotional support and referrals to the victim. In 2025, 188 victims of sexual and domestic violence were provided crisis intervention, safety planning, and support through our hospital advocacy program in person, and over the phone. Elder abuse services: in addition to conducting outreach to community groups, senior centers, agencies, and professionals who interact with potential elder abuse victims, we also offer ongoing case management and supportive services to victims of abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation in anoka county. Services offered include ongoing case management and support, help in navigating systems, connection to community resources, and basic needs, housing, financial, and legal assistance.
