Victim Services of Cullman, Inc. is… a not-for-profit organization that offers a host of services for victims of domestic violence or sexual assault. We are a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization funded by United Way, grants and community contributions. Victim Services was started in 1991, by then District Attorney, Len Brooks and several other "concerned citizens" from the Cullman County Community. With community support and a few grants, they started the Harbor Haus, program which is a shelter for victims of domestic abuse. In 1996, Victim Services added on services for sexual assault victims. Rape Response programs where launched in Cullman, Marshall, and Winston Counties. In 2010, Victim Services acquired space and funding for an outreach office and a part-time dedicate victim advocate in Winston County. While Victim Services has acquired funding for a part-time dedicated victim advocate in Marshall County, there is still a need for an outreach office. In 1998, Victim Services added Batter Intervention services to its host of services and programs. The goal of this program is to work with perpetrators of to reduce victim blaming and taking ownership in their actions. In 2009, Victim Services received funding through Alabama Rural Coalition Against Homeless to offer homeless supportive services. |
