Absolutely. The crimes that we provide support on vary from petty theft to things that are more significant like serious assaults and so forth. Support, as I mentioned, can range as well among a variety of things. Sometimes it's very simple, but sometimes it requires all hands on deck to support an individual because we're looking at a multi-faceted problem. When you have a victim coming forward from a marginalized population, they don't have somewhere safe to go. They don't have the resources behind them to continue to promote a healthier lifestyle or to get them out of where they were.
I say this coming from lived experience. I am 16 years sober. I used to be homeless and an addict in the very same community that we're serving. It was only because I had privilege that I get to sit here and have this conversation with you today.
It is our goal to bridge the gaps and barriers to provide that privilege to other people who come from other demographics and who won't necessarily have access.
