Overview
Mission
Leading our community to broad-based solutions to prevent domestic abuse.
What it reported doing in 2024
Chrysalis' offender treatment program provides services for individuals who have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony domestic abuse charge and are referred by probation department. We do accept self-referrals as well. This program strives to educate and support those involved in the criminal justice system so they may learn their unhealthy patterns of behavior and replace these patterns with healthier ones. In FY 2024-2025, 121 offenders began treatment. Transitional housing provides up to two years of safe housing for individuals and families leaving abusive relationships and environments. It provides intensive case management for those who are working and/or attending an education program. The goal of this program is to help families obtain and maintain self-sufficiency. In FY 2024-2025, this program served 65 individuals including 45 children which totaled 13,418 bed nights.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 64% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
