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. 336088 72594 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. 180072 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. 142063 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. 142063 1101137 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 false 26 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false true false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X THE ORGANIZATION 4063632793 PO BOX 534 HAMILTON MT 598400534 STACEY UMHEY Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 90020 0 17095 CHRIS TAGGART CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DEANA MASSA Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLYN LARSEN Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TOM SCHMIT Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 AMY COOPER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE HOLTON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 APRIL BARNINGS Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAIME BIESIOT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALANA CRUSE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 90020 17095 0 false false false QUALITY CONSTRUCTION CO PO BOX 4746 MISSOULA MT 59806 CONSTRUCTION 1384908 1 63862 1483352 420944 11763 1968158 0 46 46 0 0 0 0 25019 63862 54098 -29079 0 341227 341227 341227 0 2280352 341273 0 72594 72594 0 0 103301 76563 26738 0 561421 423354 138067 3384 2225 1159 56243 36982 19261 51669 33975 17694 0 0 24740 24740 0 0 0 73090 72924 166 142 142 38316 22267 12735 3314 8591 7088 1503 0 224887 176196 48691 7836 6358 1468 10 0 6061 4008 2053 0 0 70010 52793 17217 15946 5807 10139 TRANSITIONAL HOUSING 56315 56315 SUPPLIES 23393 22858 535 DIRECT EXPENSES 19154 18872 282 COMMUNITY EDUCATION 10146 8291 1855 9211 1525 7686 1436450 1101137 331989 3324 200233 98318 337868 217915 482555 161891 0 0 0 0 0 0 4707175 869650 2571158 3837525 37129 51869 0 0 0 500 500 3629443 4368018 254721 64085 421566 502483 676287 566568 X 2384762 3801450 568394 2953156 3801450 3629443 4368018 843902 4392 X false true X true true true X 757974 996972 1227396 2322150 1968158 7272650 0 0 757974 996972 1227396 2322150 1968158 7272650 17527 7255123 13 28 259 5227 46 5573 0 0 7278223 173364 0.99680 0.99020 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 37129 10348 4392 51869 33154 3975 37129 30557 2699 102 33154 34811 -3787 467 30557 34811 34811 1.00000 false false false 58068 58068 4385364 743484 3641880 133937 37153 96784 129806 89013 40793 3837525 X 2368842 4392 30000 54098 88490 2280352 2280352 1520548 30000 54098 84098 1436450 1436450 Part X : FIN48 Footnote SAFE is exempt from tax under provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
