Programs
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.
$442,914 spent40% of program spendingTRANSITIONAL 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.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $2.0M to $3.6M (+82%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
