Program accomplishments

  • DIRECT SERVICES / OUTREACH / EMERGENCY SHELTERThe majority of those served by SAFE were served via our crisis hotline, and we responded to a total of 479 requests for service on our hotline this year. Callers on the hotline were provided with access to SAFE's emergency shelter, supported with legal advocacy and provided with information about community resources. For those reaching out to SAFE for support over this year, housing remained the most requested type of assistance. SAFE provided a total of 3,837 nights of emergency shelter for 56 adults and 41 children during this year. Those residing in the emergency shelter were typically fleeing domestic or sexual violence, and the availability of emergency shelter meant that these families did not have to make the choice between remaining in an unsafe home or facing homelessness.
    Expenses $442,914
  • TRANSITIONAL HOUSING / RAPID REHOUSING SAFE also continued to provide transitional housing for families for up to two years and communitybased rental assistance for individuals and families fleeing domestic violence. Our transitional housing program provided safe housing for thirteen families, including 26 children and our rapid-rehousing program provided rental support for 21 adults and 27 children this year. These programs offer families safe and affordable housing while families transition from an unsafe home toward a selfdirected future free of violence. As a result of living in safe, affordable housing, families were able to focus on healing from trauma and securing resources necessary to live lives that are self-directed and violence-free.
    Expenses $336,088 · grants $72,594
  • THRIFT STOREOperation of the Thrift Store provides opportunities for survivors to volunteer or to obtain paid work experience. Survivors utilizing SAFE services are able to access needed items using SAFE vouchers. Proceeds from the thrift store fund housing, services, and community programs for survivors.
    Expenses $180,072
  • COALITION - COMMUNITY EDUCATIONIn addition to directly serving survivors, SAFE continued to provide community education, public awareness and community leadership regarding the issues of domestic and sexual violence in Ravalli County. During this year, 748 youth participated in school-based educational programs. Public awareness activities during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month reached hundreds of individuals in our community. SAFE also organized and created a SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) with local law enforcement and Bitterroot Health.
