THE COMMUNITY CRISIS CENTER

The Community Crisis Center , located in Elgin , Illinois , was founded in 1975 by a group of dedicated volunteers to help those in crisis due to domestic violence, sexual assault, or economic circumstances. We offer the following services: a 24-hour crisis hotline and information and referral; emergency shelter; individual and group counseling; medical, legal and welfare advocacy; emergency assistance with food, clothing, rent and utilities; and transitional housing. 6,320 individuals, including 635 children, received services in FY 2005. We worked with 1,848 adult victims of domestic violence and 364 child witnesses to domestic violence. We provided 10,534 nights of emergency shelter to 353 women and 329 children. Except for our Batterer Intervention program, all services are provided at no cost to our clients.
