This purpose-built facility has served as a critical refuge for families fleeing dangerous situations, offering them a safe haven during their most vulnerable moments. Over the past two decades, the safehouse has remained a cornerstone of FCS's mission to protect and support survivors. In 2024 alone, Family Crisis Services provided 1,394 nights of safe shelter, representing hundreds of individualsincluding both adult victims and their childrenwho found temporary respite from violence and abuse. Each night of shelter represents not just a bed and a roof, but a crucial opportunity for families to begin healing, access supportive services, and plan for a safer future free from violence. Building on this capacity, Family Crisis Services now provides critical housing assistance to help survivors secure safe and stable living environments through deposit and rental assistance programs. Now in its second year, this specialized support addresses one of the most significant barriers survivors face when leaving abusive situationsthe financial resources needed to establish independent housing. Our housing assistance program is distinctly tailored to meet the unique needs of domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, complementing but differing from traditional homeless prevention programs offered by community partners. While general housing assistance serves a broad population, FCS funds are specifically designated for survivors navigating the complex challenges of leaving violent relationships, including the need for confidentiality, rapid relocation, and heightened safety concerns. This program represents a vital component of our comprehensive services, as domestic violence remains the leading cause of homelessness for women and children. By removing financial barriers to safe housing, we empower survivors to break free from abusive situations and begin rebuilding their lives with dignity and security. Access to stable housing provides not only physical safety but also the foundation necessary for healing, economic independence, and long-term stability. 433228 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 9 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true true false CO X Tara R Kane 7192752429 3228 Independence Rd Canon City CO 81212 Tara Kane Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 85000 0 0 Brandi McCartney Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Linda Carlson PhD Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lori Jenkins President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 85000 0 false false false 0 1996 483109 59978 22708 545083 0 61 61 0 0 0 0 8295 1996 3900 4395 4395 0 0 0 549539 4456 0 30133 30133 0 0 85000 59500 17000 8500 0 197226 186353 9479 1394 0 0 45194 39369 4239 1586 0 0 14774 14774 0 0 0 12500 12500 0 4975 4229 497 249 5801 4931 580 290 0 0 0 0 0 6322 5689 317 316 0 32651 28442 3063 1146 9636 8191 963 482 Shelter Supplies 30770 30770 Repairs and Maintenance 19271 17344 963 964 All other expenses 8587 5510 2974 103 Utilities 6890 5857 688 345 12039 6910 4790 339 521769 433228 72827 15714 185813 194798 25417 0 101237 106807 46128 0 0 0 0 0 0 620815 316931 318660 303884 0 0 0 0 0 677255 605489 115955 23050 77285 70654 193240 93704 X 484015 511785 484015 511785 677255 605489 27770 X false true X false false X 518782 324188 427291 443455 524279 2237995 0 0 518782 324188 427291 443455 524279 2237995 0 2237995 227 244 3 161 61 696 9071 9071 0 2247762 0.99570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 49500 49500 368284 253266 115018 176503 43748 132755 8977 5237 3740 17551 14680 2871 303884 X 549539 549539 549539 521769 521769 521769 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The organization has received an Internal Revenue exemption from federal income tax under Section 501 (c) (3).
