Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Houston Area Women's Center (HAWC) works to end domestic and sexual violence and supports all in building safe and healthy lives through advocacy, counseling, education, shelter, and support services.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To help those affected by domestic and sexual violence to move their lives forward.

Residential Services: Our 120-bed residential campus is a refuge for survivors fleeing domestic and sexual violence, including sex trafficking. Our comprehensive, wraparound services include case management, individual and group psychotherapy/counseling, mentoring, parenting classes, career development, legal clinics, financial management/life skills workshops, job and computer training, personal living supplies, and onsite community partner services. We provide licensed early childhood education, a K-5 elementary school, and extended-hours after-school enrichment onsite. Our cafeteria serves three nutritious meals plus two snacks daily. All services are provided in a secure and safe environment.

Expenses $7,545,795 · Grants $416,282
Non-Residential Services provide services virtually and in person to adult and child survivors of domestic and sexual violence, as well as sex trafficking, and their non-offending family members. Non-Residential Services include Hotline Services, Behavioral Health and Wellbeing, Legal Advocacy Services, Housing Services, and services to assist survivors with economic empowerment. Services are provided throughout the community at three survivor empowerment hubs to increase access to services.

Expenses $2,184,520 · Grants $993,031
Violence Prevention and Community Education - Community Education: HAWC's Education and Prevention services focus on creating partnerships within Greater Houston to develop community-based violence prevention strategies. HAWC also provides outreach to high-need and underserved communities where survivors will likely face additional barriers to accessing help. In addition, violence Prevention educators offer programs for youth and professionals that address the root causes of violence and teach prevention strategies.

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.
