8. Organizational Experience (2 pages max)
A. Experience (Description of program/services,length of time, experience with
target population.)
The South King County branch of the YWCA has been providing human services since
the 1960's. South King County(SKC) is a region of the YWCA of Seattle—King
County—Snohomish County, established in Seattle in 1894. The Seattle Region is the
location for all centralized services of the organization: financial management and
payroll,human resources, community relations and development. In addition Seattle is
the primary location for Employment services,Youth services and African American
community services.
Services in SKC began with Emergency Housing for homeless families in Renton, Kent
and Auburn. Throughout the 1980's SKC YWCA added Transitional Housing Units with
funds from HUD McKinney Supportive Housing grants. In 1993, SKC YWCA opened
Anita Vista; the first transitional housing program for victims of domestic violence in
South King County. In 2002, at the request of local cities in South King County, the
YWCA began providing Advocacy Based Counseling to victims of domestic violence
and their children.
South King County YWCA has 14 units of Emergency Housing, 27 units of Transitional
Housing,plus 10 more units of Transitional Housing through partnerships with FUSION
(the YWCA operates 9 units of Transitional Housing for the FUSION organization); and
Southminster Housing Association(1 Transitional Housing unit) in Renton.
The following three goals capture the services and purpose of SKC YWCA:
• Ending Homelessness: Our goal is to meet the basic survival needs of homeless and
low-income women, children and families, and enable them to achieve housing
stability.
• Providing Safe Havens: Our goal is to prevent violence through education and
advocacy. When domestic violence has occurred, we help families recover and
rebuild their lives.
• Building Self-sufficiency: Our goal is to help low-income adults and families become
increasingly independent through employment and life skills training.
As an organization, the YWCA believes that individuals can best fulfill their lives when
they have the personal, economic, and life skills needed to take care of themselves and
their families. We place a high value on collaboration, and work with a wide range of
government,business, civic, and non-profit organizations.
B. Operational Structure: (Discuss how your organization is operationally
organized and the roles responsibilities and expertise of management and staff)
[Please see the YWCA Organization Chart as an attachment to question 19]
The YWCA of Seattle—King County—Snohomish County is governed by a policy and
governing Board from the Seattle, King County and Snohomish County area. The Board
of Directors meets monthly,with the work of the Board carried out in a variety of
YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services Application, 2009-2010
committees. Responsibility for the operation of YWCA programs is delegated to the
Chief Executive Officer, Sue Sherbrooke who in turn delegates responsibility through the
Senior Directors and the Regions. The Board of Directors is made up of community
professionals from the private sector including banking, legal,business, education,
construction and media(54%). 12% of the Board is from the non-profit sector and 34%
are Community Volunteers and from the private sector. Ninety nine percent of members
are women. The Board is ethnically diverse with 24% of Board members being people of
color. Two YWCA board members are from South King County
The long range development and strategic planning function is directed by our President
of Strategic Initiatives. The day to day planning and implementation is directed by our
Chief Executive Officer. The Service and Administrative areas of the YWCA are directed
by 8 Senior Directors for the following divisions: Human Resources, Finance and
Administration, Development; Children, Youth and Families; Housing Development,
School's Out, Snohomish County Operations and Employment and Regional Services.
The SKC Region is under the Employment and Regional Services division, which
includes Domestic Violence Services. The SKC Regional Director guides the work of
the SKC Administrative Analyst, Community Resource Coordinator, Director of
Emergency and Transitional Housing and the Director of Domestic Violence Services.
The SKC Region has 18 employees, 17 full-time and 1 part-time.
The Board of Directors stays connected and informed about the needs of South King
County through the Senior Managers (Associate and Regional Directors for South King
County and Homeless Initiatives) through their participation in various local Human
Services planning committees. Linda Rasmussen, Associate Director of Homeless
Initiatives for the YWCA was a member of the original Steering Committee for the 10
Year Plan to End Homelessness in King County. She has also served on the SKC
Response to Homelessness task force and serves on the Board of the South King Council
for Human Services. The YWCA's Chief Executive Officer, Sue Sherbrooke also is
currently a member of the Interagency Council that is leading the County's 10-Year Plan
to End Homelessness.
The Senior Director of Employment and Regional Services has over 10 years experience
as a Director of programs for an At Risk population with 4 years directing YWCA
Employment and Regional Services.
The newly hired Regional Director has nearly 20 years experience in program
management, specifically in domestic violence advocacy, education and
housing/homeless services.
The Director of Domestic Violence Services has 25 years of domestic violence work
experience and the two Children's Advocates have both worked with the curriculum
since its inception, six years ago.

9. Need for Your Program
A. Problem Statement. Describe the problem faced by your target population that
will be addressed by your proposed program. Do not describe how your program
will address this problem.
• Studies conducted by Dr. Jeffrey Edelson(1999) show, domestic violence creates
a culture of fear and intimidation that can affect every member of the family. In
his quest for control, the abuser forces everyone within the range of his authority
to respond to his behavior. This often includes any children who are in the home.
Studies have shown that there is significant overlap between domestic violence
and child abuse. Studies have shown that 60 percent of families where child
mistreatment or woman battering is identified, it is likely that both forms of abuse
exist. Dr. Edelson also writes that children hearing or seeing abuse directed at
their mother even though they are not abused themselves may be harmful to the
children. He further argues that each child's experiences are unique and each is
impacted in a unique way. Lots of children come out fairly intact and healthy
while others may experience the same level of violence exposure and end up
devastated. Clearly, witnessing domestic violence can disrupt a child's
development. It disrupts children's normal relationships with her or his parents.
Some children feel powerless, angry, consumed by fear or blame themselves for
the abuse. They may develop a warped sense of power and control or they may
blame others for their own behavior. Mothers may try to protect their children
from the trauma or"not worry the children with it" and not talk to the children or
give them an opportunity to talk about it which can give children the idea that they
shouldn't talk about it. Confusion, self blame or even blaming the victim can
result. Specific problems faced by children who have witnessed domestic violence
vary widely, and yet in recent years much research has shown that children who
have difficulty concentrating in school or children who have fights with others or
who are withdrawn,may need to talk about their fears. They may need to learn
safety planning, conflict resolution skills, and that they are not the cause of the
abuse they witnessed or received.
• Lundy Bancroft, author of"When Dad Hurts Mom: Helping Your Child Heal
From the Wounds of Witnessing Abuse"states that the most destructive thing that
can happen to children who witness violence is the destruction of the mother/child
relationship.
• National experts have stated emphatically that the most effective and immediate
way for social services to increase safety for children who have experienced
violence in their home is to support the autonomy of the non-abusive parent. This
means holding the abuser accountable for the abuse. It means recognizing the
YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services Application, 2009-2010
non-abusive parent's strengths, encouraging her own decision-making and aiding
her in caring for the children with financial, emotional, legal support that is free
from judgment. When survivors can trust that they will be respected and
supported,they will act to secure safety for themselves and their children. The
unacceptable alternative is that victims will remain isolated from services and
communities and their children may suffer.
• All Domestic Violence Advocates and all shelters (both YWCA and DAWN) in
South King County are operating at capacity every day. The shelters have 29 to 1
turn-away rate. Approximately 2,000 individuals are served ch year by YWCA
and DAWN together and the numbers are rising. South King County is home to
603,900 people,the largest percentage of any region in King County. South King
County is also home to 41.4% of the county's children and 39% of the county's
households with children. Nearly 10,000 South King County families live below
the poverty line-more than any other part of the county. South King County is
home to nearly twice as many young families as any other part of the county.
These facts are from"A Matter of Need", 2005,published by the South King
County Council of Human Services. While poor people do not suffer more
domestic violence than wealthier people,they do have fewer options to address
their barriers and it is true that younger women suffer more domestic violence than
older women.
. B. Target Population. Identify and describe the population to be served by your
program—both demographically and geographically.
The program serves women and children who have witnessed or lived in homes where
domestic violence has occurred, who are now safer from violence in South King County.
In 2007, 102 children completed the curriculum. These families are all in low-income
households: ten percent of the participants have no income at all, 79% of the families
earn less than 30% of the area median income, and 20% earn less than 50% of area
median income. Two percent of participants are non-native English speakers. The ethnic
and racial composition of clients reflects the diversity of South King County. Forty-one
percent of our clients were Caucasian, 20%were African-American, 16%were Hispanic,
1%were Asian/Pacific Islander and 19%identify as multi-ethnic.
YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services Application, 2009-2010
10. Proposed Program/Service
A. Program Description
1. YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services is a ten-week education and skill
based curriculum for children and their non-abusive caregivers. Educational content and
activities are appropriate to age and developmental level and serve children age 3 through
18 years with exceptions made for other ages of children in a family.
2. These services are delivered to families in their homes after the abuse has subsided
and the caregiver and children have achieved housing safety. YWCA staff knows of no
other program like this in our area. The strategy of delivering services to children in their
homes is unique. Home based services have been evaluated and deemed to be an
effective strategy for providing education and support for behavioral change. Home
based service delivery also results in a high number of participants completing the entire
10-week course. It is convenient and the services are delivered at no cost to the family.
3. In addition to brochures, staff distributes flyers in both English and Spanish to social
services agencies, schools, libraries,health facilities, CPS, Public Health and law
enforcement agencies. For prevention as well as outreach, YWCA has distributed a book
called "Through Their Eyes: Domestic Violence and Its Impact on Children". This book
(the first and second editions printing was donated by the Boeing Company) is directed at
adults to raise awareness and give information about how adults can help children. This
book is also available on-line at: www.ywcaworks.org.
4. The curriculum is designed to reduce the feelings of responsibility that children may
feel as a result of witnessing abuse between adults. The curriculum teaches children
effective coping skills. Over the 10-week period, the YWCA Children's Advocate first
works with the caregiver to share knowledge about the dynamics of domestic violence
and the potential effect on children. This element results in caregivers having a greater
understanding of the child's behavior and a sense of confidence on how to help more
effectively.
The second element of the curriculum involves staff work with the children to create and
execute a developmentally appropriate safety plan. Children learn to identify unsafe
situations based on their experience, and strategize with the caregiver and staff on how to
stay safer if unsafe circumstances arise. Children are very proud when they have
developed and executed a safety plan. The sense of control children experience as a result
of creating and having a plan helps mitigate their experience of helplessness during the
episode of violence they experienced. Children often feel great relief when they learn
that the violence was not their fault.
The third element of the curriculum helps children develop positive conflict resolution
skills. Children who have been exposed to domestic violence often use inappropriate
power or violence to resolve conflict. This module helps children learn positive ways of
managing conflict and practice the skills.
YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services Application, 2009-2010
The fourth element of the curriculum helps children and caregivers identify and access
social support networks in their communities. Isolation is a powerful tactic that
perpetrators of domestic violence use to maintain power and control in their family.
Children who are given the opportunity to explore and participate in activities and events
of interest to them experience an increase in self-esteem and emotional resilience.
Caregivers who are able to provide enjoyable opportunities for their children gain a
greater sense of empowerment and satisfaction. YWCA staff work with caregivers and
children to identify and access opportunities for the development of increased support
networks for the family.
The YWCA Domestic Violence Children's Services work to reduce negative behaviors in
children who have witnessed domestic violence, and to support behavior that will assist
them in overcoming barriers to school readiness. Children experience decreased guilt for
violence that they witnessed between adults, learn coping skills and conflict resolution
skills and will develop a sense of self-empowerment through development of a personal
safety plan.
5. Children's Services are available currently in Spanish and English. Interpreters are
scheduled for other languages. YWCA staff each receive concentrated training to
improve their cultural competency each year.
6. The Children's Domestic Violence Program would like to increase staffing to 2 FTE
in the next funding cycle. In 2007, the program had 1.6 FTE. Two FTE would allow the
program to serve 120 children in 2009 and beyond. We believe this will eliminate the
waiting list and respond to the increased calls for service. We also offer training to other
agencies on the impact of domestic violence on children and how to help children who
have witnessed violence and more staff time for these presentations is needed.
7. The Domestic Violence Children's Services Advocate collaborates with other YWCA
in-house programs by providing services to families connected with other Community
Based Domestic Violence Advocates and YWCA emergency and transitional housing
families upon referral.
The Domestic Violence Children's Program also collaborates with the following:
• Child Protective Services in King County
• Child Protective Teams in King County
• Safe &Bright Futures pilot project called the Children's Response Team with
Sound Mental Health and DAWN.
• Safe Haven Visitation&Exchange Center
• Community Health Departments
• Domestic Violence Task Forces in Enumclaw, Kent, Federal Way, Renton,
Tukwila,Auburn and Covington.
• The CPS/DV Best Practices Workgroup
• Public Schools,providing trainings and advocacy for individual children.
YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services Application, 2009-2010
B. Performance Measures and Outcomes:
1. Performance Measure: To provide the curriculum to 120 children and their caregivers
Outcome 1: To reduce negative behaviors and foster self-empowerment in children
who have witnessed domestic violence in South King County.
Indicator A: As a result of program participation, 80% of participants will
have reduced their feeling of responsibility for the abuse
(measured by the pre and post `fault' scale)
Indicator B: By the end of program participation, 100% of children
participating in the program will have developed their own
personal safety plan.
1O
YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services Application, 2009-2010
C. Staffing Plan and Evaluation
i. Staffing Plan: The staffing plan is for two (2)FTE to provide Children's Domestic
Violence Services to approximately 120 children each year. One Children's Advocate has
a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science with a concentration in Public
Administration and a Bachelor's Degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in Human
Development. She also has more than 1000 hours of additional training in mental health,
child development, abuse and neglect, substance abuse and effects of Domestic Violence.
The other Children's Advocate who is bilingual in Spanish is completing her Masters
Degree in counseling in May and graduating in June, 2008. She has extensive training
about domestic violence, child development and cultural competency. Both Children's
Advocates have worked with this curriculum from its beginnings.
Children and their caregivers can receive additional services from the YWCA Legal
Advocate or Community Advocates which are paid for under other contracts. Children's
services are available to survivors in transitional housing whether they be working with
YWCA, Multiservice Center or DAWN' housing.
ii. Evaluation. The YWCA has developed a comprehensive measurement tool for this
program that links to our client database. This includes a written intake and exit from
services that documents client data in the computer record, capturing the outcome
information. Simple pre and post tests are conducted by the Children's Advocate with
the participating children regarding their feelings of responsibility for the domestic
violence that they witnessed. Measures of success include a decrease in the feeling of
responsibility, and the ability of children to create their own personal, viable safety plan.
In addition to outcome measures, clients are invited to give their suggestions for
improvement to either the Child Advocate or the Director of Domestic Violence Services.
`a, \\
YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services Application, 2009-2010
D.Differences in Service Delivery by City. Differences by City have been mostly due
to fluctuations in the numbers of children in each family. When both number of families
and the number of children are projected, most often one or the other number does not
coincide with the projections. Otherwise the differences are small and relate mostly to
mileage difference and staff time.
12
YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services Application, 2009-2010
11. Long Range Plan
The services to children contain the seeds of prevention as well as being an intervention
for recent domestic violence. By helping children talk about domestic violence and learn
about healthy relationships,they have opportunity to develop new skills to become
healthy adults.
The long range plan for Children's Domestic Violence Services includes continuing to
seek out private and public funding sources that recognize the unaddressed need for
children who have experienced domestic violence to receive services that can heal and
empower them for future success. In 2007 and 2008, with Foundation funding, we have
been able to train and share materials with the staff of the East Cherry Region of the
YWCA who provide specialized outreach to African American families throughout King
County. We may have opportunity to replicate the services at the Pathways for Women,
Snohomish County YWCA in the future.
The YWCA would like to replicate this service throughout our organization and beyond.
The first steps are to stabilize the funding at 2 FTE so there is enough staff time available
to conduct training, and analyze outcomes for program improvement.
Longer term plans include objective research and analysis by a third party who can test
the validity of the results and make recommendations.
YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services Application, 2009-2010
12. Budget
A. Budget Narrative
With this proposal the YWCA is seeking to increase the staffing for Children's DV
Services to 2 FTE. It has been a struggle to keep this service going over the past three
years. The YWCA has secured a private donation of$10,000 per year for three years and
is seeking other private funders through both formal application processes and donor
development. Funding is used primarily for staffing, the mileage expense that is required
for home visits and program materials. These are essential to the drawing and writing
that the participants use to express their experience and their thoughts.
B. Changes to the Budget.
Only minor changes in the budget are expected beyond raising the staffing level to two
FTE.
C. Cost Per Service Unit
With a projected cost of$151,402 for two full time Children's Advocates to deliver
home-based services This would include 10 1-hour sessions that include the non-
abusive caregiver,plus one additional session designed for the caregiver, plus time spent
setting up sessions, travel, advocacy with schools, CPS or others and file notes, intake
and exit work. This generally amounts to 30+hours per family, although some families
require much more advocacy and staff time. Also, if there are children in the home who
are close enough in age to participate together(and this is often the case)the actual cost
per child would be less. There has been wide variation between the number of children
in families served(from one child to six children in our recent experience), making it
difficult to predict the costs per child. For example, a family with one child may receive
a similar number of hours of service(and therefore similar cost) as a family with four or
six children. The cost per hour of service is $90.00
Cost Per Service Unit: $90.00/hour of advocacy-based counseling
Explanation of how determined:
This is determined by the total cost of the program divided by the number of children and
parents served times the average number of hours of service received by children and
parents.

Board of Directors
Young Women's Christian Association
of Seattle-King County-Snohomish County and Affiliates
Seattle, Washington
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Young Women's Christian
Association of Seattle-King County-Snohomish County and Affiliates (the "Organization") as of December
31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the year
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The prior year
summarized comparative information has been derived from the Organization's 2003 consolidated financial
statements, which were audited by other auditors and whose report dated May 5, 2004, expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued
by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Young Women's Christian Association of Seattle-King County-Snohomish County and Affiliates
as of December 31, 2004, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 18, 2005, on
our consideration of Young Women's Christian Association of Seattle-King County-Snohomish County and
Affiliates' internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to
describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of
that testing, and not to provided an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.
That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and
should be considered in assessing the results of our audits.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements of the
Organization taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule presented on page 19 for the year ended December
31, 2004 is presented for additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

Young Women's Christian Association
of Seattle-King County-Snohomish County and Subsidiaries °..',•,.,...,,
Seattle, Washington
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Young Women's Christian
Association of Seattle-King County-Snohomish County and Subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Organization") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered the Organization's internal control
over financial reporting(internal control) as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose
of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Organization's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph
and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies
or material weaknesses. However, as discussed on the following pages, we identified a certain deficiency
in internal control that we consider to be a significant deficiency.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or
report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there
is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity's financial statements that is more than
inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
This communication is intended solely for the information and use of management, the board of directors,
and others within the Organization and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.
The Organization's written response to the significant deficiency identified in our audit is included in this
document but has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial
statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

Renton Supplemental Application
YWCA Children's Domestic Violence Services
Result#: Residents Know about domestic violence and how to keep safe.
The outcome selected for the Children's Domestic Violence Services is to reduce
negative behaviors and foster self-empowerment in children who have witnessed
domestic violence. Through participation in the program, children learn about domestic
violence and that the violence is not their fault, develop their own individual safety plan,
learn conflict resolution skills, do art work to help identify their feelings and practice new
skills. The non-abusive parent also learns how to support the children and help them
practice their social and developmental skills. Children are encouraged to talk about their
issues, make new friends and engage in community activities. Children who have
participated report(on pre and post tests) that they feel less responsible for the violence.
Practicing the conflict resolution skills is very empowering and children and youth can
begin to glimpse life without violence.
Child Advocates tailor the curriculum so that age appropriate activities are fun and
engaging. Children relax, exhibit more enthusiasm and they have opportunity to ask
questions of the Advocate and of their parent which leads to emotional stability, greater
confidence and reduction of interpersonal violence in their relationships with peers,
siblings and parents.
