Mission and programs · 2023

• SHELTER, HOTLINE, AND CRISIS RESPONSE: SAFE NEST'S CRISIS SERVICES PROGRAMS (SHELTER, HOTLINE, AND ON-THE-SCENE CRISIS RESPONSE PROGRAM PROJECT SAFE 417) PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS AND THEIR CHILDREN, INCLUDING EMERGENCY 24-HOUR INTAKE, 24-HOUR CRISIS HOTLINE SERVICES, 24-HOUR ACCESS TO EMERGENCY TEMPORARY PROTECTION ORDERS (THE SOLE ACCESS POINT IN CLARK COUNTY), CASE MANAGEMENT, EMPLOYMENT COUNSELING, HOUSING ASSISTANCE, SUPPORT GROUPS, SOBRIETY SUPPORT, PARENTING TRAINING, CHILD COUNSELING, AND LIFE-SKILLS SUPPORT, IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING FOR SAFETY AND BASIC NEEDS. SAFE NEST MAINTAINS 100+ BEDS IN A CONFIDENTIAL LOCATION, AS WELL AS OFF- SITE OVERFLOW UNITS, TO PROVIDE REFUGE FOR SURVIVORS TO RECOVER FROM TRAUMA AND TRANSITION TO AN ABUSE-FREE LIFE. CLIENTS ACCESS THE SHELTER THROUGH SAFE NEST'S CRISIS HOTLINE OR OTHER DIRECT SERVICE PROGRAMS; REFERRALS COME FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE COURT SYSTEM, OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICE PROVIDERS; OR SELF-REFERRAL AS A RESULT OF SAFE NEST'S OUTREACH EFFORTS. AFTER A SAFETY ASSESSMENT IS CONDUCTED, CRISIS ADVOCATES ARRANGE FOR CLIENTS' TRANSPORTATION TO SHELTER. FOOD, CLOTHING AND ALL NECESSITIES ARE PROVIDED. AFTER THE FAMILY SETTLES IN, A SHELTER ADVOCATE IS ASSIGNED TO THE FAMILY TO HELP THEM DEVELOP A PLAN FOR THEIR STAY, INCLUDING THE OBJECTIVES NEEDED TO TRANSITION TO A NEW LIFE. SHELTER STAFF PROVIDE RESOURCES TO HELP THE FAMILY ACCOMPLISH THEIR OBJECTIVES. SHELTER STAYS VARY; THE CURRENT AVERAGE IS 56 DAYS. SHELTER CLIENTS ARE ALSO PROVIDED WITH EMPLOYMENT COUNSELING, HOUSING ASSISTANCE, REFERRALS FOR FINANCIAL AND LEGAL AID, AND MANY OTHER RESOURCES. THROUGH SAFE NEST'S PET PROGRAM, FAMILIES STAYING AT SHELTER HAVE ON-SITE AND OFF-SITE OPTIONS TO BOARD THEIR PETS WHILE THEY RECEIVE SERVICES. IN 2017, SAFE NEST ESTABLISHED PROJECT SAFE 417 (PS417) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT (LVMPD) TO DECREASE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOMICIDE AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF VICTIMS DIRECTLY AT THE SCENES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INCIDENTS. PS417 UTILIZES SAFE NEST VOLUNTEERS WHO PROVIDE ON-THE-SCENE CRISIS INTERVENTION TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS IN THE TIME IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT OF ABUSE. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE GAP IN SERVICES BETWEEN WHEN POLICE OFFICERS RESPOND TO A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALL AND WHEN A SURVIVOR CONNECTS WITH SAFE NEST AND OTHER NEEDED RESOURCES TO PRESERVE THEIR SAFETY.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
