The shelter for battered women described in this report was established for three purposes: (1) to provide assaulted and battered women and their children refuge from domestic violence; (2) to enable women to identify viable alternatives to life-threatening situations and encourage self-reliance; and (3) to act as an advocate for change within the community and in those systems responsible for providing services to assaulted and battered women and their children. The report itself is a detailed final evaluation of the program for the fiscal year ending June, 1978. A few of the areas covered are funding sources and appropriateness of funding; staff positions and salaries; goals and objectives; functions performed by the shelter; and deficiencies and recommendations for improvement.
