In preparing the report, the Department of Economic Security (DES) consulted with the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence. The reporting system provides information on the population served, the types and usage of the services provided within the shelter, and the unmet needs of persons receiving shelter. The amount of $2.2 million is appropriated from the Domestic Violence Shelter Fund (DVSF), which is 17 percent of the total funds that the DES had available for domestic violence emergency shelters. This Shelter Fund Report is based upon Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 information that is available from the DES statewide contractor reporting system. POPULATION SERVED The total number of adults and children who received services in 31 shelters located in 13 counties was 7,567. Of the total number served in emergency shelter, children represent 49 percent. THE SERVICES PROVIDED During the year, 293,970 nights of shelter were provided to adults and children. The shelters provided 144,025 hours of case management, individual and group counseling, and legal advocacy. The average length of stay in emergency shelter was 39 days. In addition, 25,185 hotline calls were received during FY 2015. UNMET NEEDS OF PERSONS WHO RECEIVE SERVICES The primary needs across the state are housing, child care, and transportation.
