About Hope Alliance MissionDeveloping partnerships and providing services that renew hope, highlight possibilities and change the futures of those whose lives have been affected by family and sexual violence. Our History Founded in 1984 as a rape crisis center, Hope Alliance celebrated 25 years of service to the community in 2009. The agency expanded to include services for domestic violence victims in the late 1980s and opened the 24-hour emergency shelter in 1990. Since then, it has established outreach offices in Georgetown, Cedar Park, Taylor and Hutto to facilitate the delivery of services across Williamson County. In 2004, a county-wide Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) was established with Hope Alliance as a founding member. Also in 2004, collaboration with the American Housing Foundation resulted in the establishment of the 183 Corridor Transitional Housing program for victims of family violence. Today Hope Alliance is recognized nationally as a leader in caring for those whose lives have been affected by family and sexual violence. All services are free and confidential. Our Objectives Hope Alliance operates under the belief that physical, sexual, emotional and psychological abuse of one human being by another is unacceptable. We believe that all abuse diminishes or prohibits the full expression of life and growth that is every person’s right. Our primary objectives are to: • Advocate for the creation of an environment where violence and abuse are not tolerated in the community. • Provide education, violence prevention services and crisis intervention to victims of family and sexual violence. • Seek the support and resources necessary to achieve the agency mission. Our Locations Hope Alliance’s main offices and the emergency shelter are located in Round Rock, Texas. Outreach offices include the Taylor and Georgetown Police Departments, Williamson County Sheriff’s Department. For safety reasons, the specific location of the shelter is kept confidential. Core Services Our core services include a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency shelter, transitional housing, accompaniment services, legal advocacy, counseling, support groups, education and prevention. Highlights There is a growing need for emergency shelter in Williamson County. Hope Alliance has documented a 39 percent increase in the number of victims provided shelter during the last year and, for the last two years, has been forced to make referrals for alternative refuge for 10-15 families each month. • Hope Alliance serves more than 5,000 clients through our core programs each year. • In 2008, 9,725 nights of shelter were provided to women and children. • Each year, 4,500 hotline callers receive crisis intervention services, information and referrals. • Volunteers provide Hope Alliance with nearly 7,500 hours of service each year. |
