Louise Seliski Shelter
What We Do:
Many people stay in a violent relationship because they feel they have nowhere to go. We are a nonprofit organization providing a safe, secure facility for those seeking a way out of their violent situation. Our intake is open 24-hours a day and provides the resources and services to advocate for survivors of all types of relationship abuse. With respect, honesty, confidentiality and accountability, we support survivors in developing their personal goals. Family pets are welcomed and the many benefits of their presence within the shelter are embraced. Pets that may be too large for our facility can be fostered until they can be reunited with their family.
Services We Offer:
24-hour Emergency Shelter
24-hour Crisis, Information and Referral Line
Assistance in Filing Orders for Protection and Harassment Restraining Orders
Accompaniment and Support at Court Hearings
Facilitated Self-Help Support Groups
Public Speaking and Professional Training

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Oct 01 - Sep 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
