Issue: Domestic violence is a pernicious, complex, pervasive, and deadly social problem throughout the world, including Laredo/Webb County. Casa Misericorida Domestic Violence Shelter is the only shelter provider in the local South Texas area which delivers services to help prevent, mitigate, and disrupt the domestic violence cycle in the local community and, like many non-profits, struggles with limited financial resources to provide an array of often life-saving services to victims of domestic violence and their families.

Solution: Transfer funds to provide support assistance to Casa Misericorida Domestic Violence Shelter.

Result: The community will be provided expanded services with this support assistance. Additional prevention, diversion, and intervention efforts by the domestic violence shelter can provide life-saving services to families in the local community and will help to reduce required high risk, often dangerous, and exceedingly costly intervention and response by member agencies of the local criminal justice system.
