They have In and Outpatient services, day placement services, job placement services, childcare center. They have 120 staff positions. They have a budget of 7 million a year. Few volunteers. Much more like a business than individual program.
Ex2: crisis center in PG County had shelter. Outreach office and then have a single shelter. Much more grass roots. One little program struggling to raise the money to get by each year. |
|
Grassroots
|
more about feminist theories and empowerment theories. More volunteers
+ More personalized, building a community. - Harder for them to obtain funding. House of Ruth budget was 1.75 mil a year. (Corporate) Family crisis center made an addition but couldn’t open it because lack of funding to staff it. (Grassroots) + Stronger feeling of empowerment for workers too. Because they do so much there constantly. There has been a shift to corporation. House of Ruth in D.C. run like a corporation. Pros and cons to both types |
|
Corporation styled shelters
|
Might seem less personal.
+ Hierarchy to everything. More defined roles and better record keeping. Filing. + Might be a feeling of more safety. + Can reach out to more people. Can serve so many more people than a grassroots shelter. + They have child care, in and outpatient treatment. They have long term housing. + They pay better. Salary. Pay psychiatrist to consult. + Have connections with lawyers who do pro bono work. - They apply the same model and program to many women |
