<br />abuse clearly need accessible, supportive, educational and comprehensive local programs. <br />Rivers of Hope provides a vital service to the families who come to us with hope for <br />safety and help in breaking the cycle of domestic violence. <br />In 1998 we began receiving law enforcement arrest and incident reports from the <br />Elk: River Police Department, (as we do with other law enforcement agencies), with the <br />agreement that we will immediately notify the victim of a domestic assault and offer <br />services. There would be significant cost for Elk: River to provide their own victim <br />services if we were not here. We are accessible 24-hours a day with crisis intervention <br />assistance. <br />Please find attached a chart of population served in Sherburne County, numbers <br />served over the last 5 years, our budget for fiscal 1999 and our budget for fiscal 2000. <br />Thank you for past support and please consider favorably a resolution to support <br />this important and effective violence intervention and prevention service on a regular <br />basis. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />The Board and Staff of Rivers of Hope <br /> <br />~~ ~(r~ <br /> <br />Margaret Ostman, <br />Executive Director <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
