Family Crisis Center Of Walker, Dade, Catoosa, And Chattooga Counties, Inc.

Family Crisis Center of Walker, Dade, Catoosa, and Chattooga Counties, Inc. is a tax-exempt non-profit organization headquartered in Rock Spring, Georgia, that specializes in providing comprehensive victim services and shelter assistance to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The organization is registered with SAM.gov and maintains active federal grant relationships with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women. As a domestic shelter and victim service provider, the organization serves rural communities across northwestern Georgia, addressing critical gaps in emergency and transitional housing assistance for vulnerable populations affected by interpersonal violence.

The organization has demonstrated substantial federal grant funding capacity through two active prime grants awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women. Most recently, the organization secured a $500,000 Transitional Housing Assistance Grant (CFDA 16.736) effective from October 2025 through September 2028, under which it implements the Family Crisis Center Transitional Housing for Rural Victims Project. This grant supports the provision of eight private, scattered-site transitional housing residences paired with comprehensive supportive services including case management, safety planning, career counseling, job training, legal assistance, and housing advocacy. The initiative operates collaboratively with Better Homes and Gardens and the Lafayette Housing Authority to serve survivors for periods ranging from six to 24 months, with the goal of achieving permanent housing and economic self-sufficiency. Additionally, the organization holds a Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Program grant awarded in October 2024 and extending through September 2027, which supports victim services, community education, prevention strategies, and collaborative efforts among law enforcement, prosecutors, victim service providers, and other community partners. The organization also participates as a sub-grantee under the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council's domestic violence initiative, further expanding its reach and coordination capabilities within the criminal justice response framework.
