News » Survey shows daily impact of domestic violence
Mar. 8, 2010
Groups that provide services to victims of domestic violence in Wisconsin helped about 2,000 people on a single day last year.
Patti Seeger is the executive director of the Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence. She says they wanted to take a snapshot of what those groups do on a daily basis, so they collected figures from last September 15.
On that day, Seeger says nearly 900 people were in a shelter or transitional housing, and about 750 calls came in to domestic violence hotlines. She says they weren't able to help about 275 people who were reaching out, because of funding issues and an increase in need.
Seeger says the actual number of people that were served in a single day would have been higher, but nine of the 72 programs in the state didn't participate in the survey. |
