Overview

Mission

Domestic violence counseling

What it reported doing in 2024

2 clients were seen in group therapy sessions during the year and 25 in individual therapy. All sessions have been conducted with the goal of reducing domestic violence. Approximately 750 calls were received in crisis situations. The center actively participated in crisis intervention at police stations. 134 times were on scene responses. Staff assisted in the granting of 130 restraining orders. In addition, staff was provided for crisis work in the police stations in 167 cases.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 86% 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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
