With services available around the clock, the department serves as a first responder, offering immediate, compassionate, and skilled support to those in dire need. The department features two programs:24-hour hotline - the hotline is how the majority of those fleeing domestic violence get connected to needed services. The hotline helps someone at risk to safety plan and provides an assessment of risks and needs, moving them to emergency housing shelter or referring them to another department as indicated. It is a vital component of ensuring the community has access to intervention services in their moment of need.Emergency Response Program (ERP) is a joint project with countywide law enforcement, where CORA provides timely intervention and advocacy. This joint project bridges the gap between immediate danger and ongoing support. In collaboration with local police and sheriff departments, this program ensures survivors in crisis situations are connected to services that can help them navigate the crisis. ERP is a contact point for law enforcement officers who are dispatched to or otherwise encounter residents in need due to domestic violence. CORAs crisis counselors work with law enforcement to offer support, safety planning, and essential resources.During the fiscal year 2023-24, CORAs CSS team answered 2,169 calls and responded to 2,380 law enforcement referrals.

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.
