Overview

Mission

To provide shelter and advocacy services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking in the 11 counties of southeast Kansas.

What it reported doing in 2024

The safehouse crisis center sheltered 195 unduplicated victims for a total number of shelter units of 4,852, representing an average of 13 victims per day. The safehouse crisis center houses the child exchange and visitation center in pittsburg and provides families in crisis with child and exchange visitation services. Additionally, the safehouse crisis center works with all adult and child victims of domestic violence and sexual assault on personal safety plans and makes available through collaborative efforts with community agencies on self-esteem and confidence building, parenting skills, self-defense, nutrition, banking and budgeting, and other life skills.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 66% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
