Looking for some good news to start out the New Year? Center for Victims is proud to announce some key top-level data from our 2015-2016 annual report, and the impact you have helped to foster in your neighborhoods and communities.

We served 15,030 clients directly in the ’15-’16 FY: that’s 1.2% of Allegheny County’s total population, and that doesn’t include those reached through our prevention education department.

11.6% of our clients in that timeframe were under the age of 18. (1,740 people), while 88.4% were over the age of 18 (13,289 people).

Services rendered in FY ’15-’16: 26.5% Domestic Violence, 11.1% Sexual Assault, 62.4% Other Crimes

It’s easy to get disheartened when you hear stories on the news of terrible crimes and senseless violence—we know. The good news, though, is that there are people like you who are helping us in our mission to heal the trauma of the many survivors of crime. Nobody can completely stop bad things from happening to good people, but we can ensure there is an “after” filled with hope and the promise of a happy life.

If you want to give the gift of hope and healing for those in your community, please consider making a donation today.
