program expenditures, up to the total agreement amount. Failure to meet
financial reporting responsibilities as identified in this Agreement may result in
withholding future payments.

knowledge and belief that the report is true, complete and accurate and the
expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the purposes and
objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The
individual submitting the FSR should be aware that any false, fictitious or
fraudulent information, or the omission of any material facts, may subject them
to criminal, civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false
claims or otherwise.

6 Program Synopsis
The Capital Area Response Effort ( CARE) was created in 1996 by the Capital Area Domestic and
Sexual Violence Coordinating Council to address the unmet crisis intervention needs of crime victims
immediately following an incident of domestic violence involving police response. Over twenty years
later, the CARE Program continues to serve victims of domestic violence in the Ingham county area by
placing their priorities, needs, interests, and access to accurate information at the center of our work
with an emphasis on client self-determination.
The CARE Program provides in-person, first response, crisis intervention to victims of domestic violence
after being dispatched by police following an assailant’ s arrest. The program has also developed a
partnership with a local hospital, that will dispatch out an advocate to a survivor receiving medical
treatment in the emergency room. In-person crisis response is provided by a CARE staff member or
trained volunteers. CARE staff/ volunteers meet with the victim at the location chosen by the victim and
provided to staff/ volunteers by the 911 dispatch supervisor or hospital. These locations could include but
are not limited to the victim’ s home, a hospital, or police precinct. CARE staff/ volunteers are on-call
seven days a week, 365 days a year. CARE responds between 8:00 AM- 1:00 AM. Any calls received
after 1:00 AM are responded to the next morning at 8:00 AM. CARE is dispatched out to calls by the
Lansing, East Lansing, Lansing Township, Meridian Township, and Michigan State University police
departments. This initial crisis intervention is designed to respond to the immediate emotional,
psychological, physical health, and safety needs of the victim of domestic violence. During their visit,
CARE Program staff/ volunteers provide empathic listening, education on the dynamics of domestic
violence victimization, and share information/ community resources to empower the survivor of domestic
violence. The CARE Program is able to safety plan with the survivor, including immediate assistance
with transportation to a safe location and/ or shelter for the night. The CARE Program’ s personal needs
closet is able to provide clients with urgent need items such as, hygiene products, diapers, cleaning
supplies etc., from items donated by the community.
After the initial crisis intervention, the CARE Program is in a unique position to provide follow- up
services to survivors of domestic violence. The CARE staff/ volunteers develop a trusting relationship
between the survivor and CARE during their initial visit. As a result, CARE is better able to assist victims
of crime to stabilize their lives after victimization, restore a measure of safety and security, as well as,
assist victims to understand and participate in the criminal justice system. A CARE staff member is
available 77 hours per week ( Sun 3pm- 1am, Mon- Wed 8am- 1am, Th-Fri 8am- 5pm) to provide advocacy
to clients. Such advocacy can occur over the phone, in-person at our office, at the police station, and at
the court house. This follow- up advocacy is directed by the victim and can include working with the
victim to assess the impact of the crime on their life, management of practical problems created by the
victimization, and identification of resources available to the victim. If the survivor is interested in
participating in the criminal justice process, it can involve providing clients with information about their
rights and the court process, notification of key court dates, providing transportation, accompanying the
victim to court, assisting with victim impact statements, assisting in recovering property that was retained
as evidence, assistance with restitution, and advocating on behalf of clients with court personnel and/ or
law enforcement.
The CARE Program could not fulfil its mission without the work of dedicated community volunteers.

Currently, approximately 35 CARE volunteers provide post- arrest, first response, crisis intervention to
survivors of domestic violence. The Volunteer Coordinator conducts a 20-hour training at the agency for
each volunteer prior to the volunteer becoming a CARE Program advocate. These trainings occur three
times per year. Once they have completed training and cleared a background check, volunteers sign up
for shifts with a partner for evening and weekend shifts ( Thur. 5pm- 1am, Fri. 5pm- 1am, Sat. 8am- 1am,
Sun. 8am- 5pm). The volunteers are provided with an on-call bag which contains agency assessment
forms and community resources/ pamphlets. After their shift, the volunteers return the completed
assessment forms to the CARE Program in order for staff to provided follow- up advocacy with the victim.
The Volunteer Coordinator facilitates bi-monthly in-services to keep the volunteers trained on new
policies/ procedures and to build comradery. It truly takes a village to make a difference, and our
volunteers are one- of-a-kind, dedicated change- makers.

expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the purposes and
objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The
