Someplace Safe was recently awarded an $80,000 grant from Otto Bremer Trust. The funds will be used to maintain crime victim advocacy services provided to crime survivors throughout the agency’s 9-county service area. These services include crisis intervention, legal advocacy, emergency housing and resources, safety planning and referrals. Services are provided to nearly 4,000 area individuals annually at 11 community advocacy offices.
“Crime can have devastating impacts for survivors, families and communities”, stated Ashley Zach, Director of Development and Communications. “State and federal funding can fluctuate, so it is important Someplace Safe seek out and maintain adequate support from generous allies and supporters.” Zach added, “maintaining victim-centered support and safety services are paramount to survivor recovery in the aftermath of crime”.
