February 28, 2023 Mayor Kevin England and City Council Members City of Chubbuck 290 E. Linden Avenue Chubbuck Idaho 83202 Dear Mayor England and City of Chubbuck Council Members: First and most importantly, thank you for the generous support that the City Council has provided to Family Services Alliance of SE Idaho (FSA) during previous years. The dollars allocated by the City of Chubbuck have been vital to FSA as we provide a strong foundation for the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Advocacy Program. FSA uses these dollars to provide the best possible victim advocacy for our Chubbuck neighbors, friends, and family who experience the trauma of family abuse and are working to heal through the free and confidential services FSA provides. Second, I understand that you are working hard to include funding in the City's budget for FSA. We hope you will maintain your support of$6,000. Over the last several years, FSA has seen a significant increase in both the number of clients accessing services and the amount of time a client stays connected to services. This means clients are truly healing from their traumatic histories through the work they do at FSA. Our services not only provide vital crisis intervention but also long-term healing support. Efficiency and effectiveness are key to changing lives for the better. Third, I would like to express my appreciation for your ongoing support of survivors of violence. Our partnership with the City of Chubbuck and Chubbuck Police Department to respond onsite with victims of abuse and violence works well and ensures that victims are able to increase their safety and heal from the trauma of abuse. Your leadership sends a strong positive message to victims of abuse living in our community. Offenders of violence often tell their victims they are less than and systematically destroy their victims' self esteems as tactics to gain power over their victims. Your support of survivors, both financially and physically, sends a healing message to victims of abuse working to empower themselves, increase their self -esteems, and heal from the trauma of abuse. Thank you for your ongoing care and concern for all citizens of Chubbuck! Finally, I invite all of you to visit our office to tour our facility and see how we provide free and confidential trauma - informed services to survivors of abuse in our community. Again, many thanks for your ongoing support! est Regards, tO1BaDion Executive Director 24 -Hour Crisis Line Our mission is to promote safe and thriving families, 208 -251 -HELP (4357) Ivork to end physical, sexual and emotional abuse and provide victim support. 355 South Arthur Avenue Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Advocacy Pocatello, ID 83204 Victim's Shelter .
