YWCA OF NORTHWEST GEORGIA 3 Years at a Glance 7/01/2012 - 6/30/2015 48 Henderson Street Marietta, Georgia 30064 770-427-2902 Hotline: 770-427-3390 northwest georgia www.ywcanwga.com ywca of northwest georgia Your YWCA of Northwest Georgia is a dynamic agency whose work focuses on programs to reduce domestic violence and sexual assault. We seek to ensure that those who find themselves facing one of these challenges find hope and a renewed sense of purpose. In 1978, the YWCA opened the first domestic violence shelter in the State of Georgia. Started by advocates who deemed a need for a domestic violence shelter, the program began in a three bedroom house in Cobb County. Now, 38 years later, the request for domestic violence beds has increased significantly and space requirements have changed. Since 2008, the YWCA has had a 181% increase in requests for services (Legal Advocacy 55%, Sexual Assault 46%, Counseling 41% and Domestic Violence 39%). This increase is linked to community awareness of our programs and services and is believed to be a direct result of job loss, home foreclosures, financial losses, fear of the unknown and anger displacement. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence states 1 in 3 women will be subject to some form of intimate partner violence in her lifetime. The increase in victims forced the YWCA to look at their facilities and evaluate how they could help more people. In 2009, the YWCA of Northwest Georgia launched a $7.2 million capital campaign. The goals were to build 12 transitional housing apartments where the old swimming pool once stood and expand and renovate the counseling/training facilities, computer lab, regional sexual assault center, and existing office space. This first phase of the renovation was completed in the spring of 2012. The final and most important phase of this project, the domestic violence shelter, began its renovation at the end of 2014. The new shelter expanded from a 32 bed shelter to a 40 bed shelter, with a full kitchen and dining room so families can eat together. Some additional features of the shelter renovation included: play and study areas for the children, an expanded living room, counseling and child therapy rooms, and bedrooms with private bathrooms. The YWCA of Northwest Georgia’s ability to provide a place to call “Home” for those in need working for a community of a safe place to rebuild their lives has finally happened because of the tremendous support from our great community. Our donors are giving those we serve the opportunity to rise above the environment they find themselves in and become survivors. They are giving them another free of domestic violence chance at a new life. A safe life. A happy life. A violence free life. and sexual assault 01 www.ywcanwga.com www.ywcanwga.com 02 7/1/2012-6/30/2015 Corporate and Foundation Donors We thank all of the following organizations who supported us in 2012-2015.
