What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

AVDA works to break the cycle of domestic violence through its core program offerings. AVDA's mission is to 'end family violence by advocating for the safety and self determination of victims and promoting accountability for abusers'. AVDA's core services are comprised of free legal services to victims and their children, this includes child custody, protective orders, child support and divorce. AVDA also offers counseling (both individual and group) for children and adults. Knowing that in order to end the cycle of domestic violence we must rehabilitate the abuser, AVDA operates the largest and oldest Battering Intervention and Prevention Program (BIPP) in the state of Texas. Finally, AVDA's Community Awareness Prevention Program provides programming to youth to help break the cycle and educate the next generation.

Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Legal Advocacy Program

AVDA’s attorneys are the only dedicated team of family lawyers for battered women in Houston. Since 1980, AVDA has provided free legal representation and advocacy for more than 100,000 victim-survivors of family violence. In 2015 alone, AVDA served more than 3,500 adult and minor victims of abuse, providing legal services necessary to safeguard victims (protective orders, kick-out orders, supervised visitation and other limitations on abuser’s access to children) and to end the legal ties that bind victims to their abusers (divorce, termination of parental rights).

Population(s) Served

Families

Battering Intervention and Prevention Program

Removing the victim often isn’t enough to stop the cycle of violence. The abuser just moves onto another relationship, which inevitably turns violent. In response, AVDA founded AVDA's Battering Intervention and Prevention Program is an 18+ week regimen of specialized psycho-education counseling and re-socialization. BIPP challenges men and women who have been violent, abusive and/or controlling in intimate relationships to recognize, accept responsibility for and end this behavior. Even as BIPP “serves” the batterers, its overriding goal in doing so is to insure the safety, self-determination and well-being of victims.

Population(s) Served

Adults

People with psychosocial disabilities

Trauma Counseling

AVDA provides a Trauma Counselor to meet the needs of children, youth and adults who have been traumatized by domestic violence. Counseling is offered for adults and children individually and in groups. Victim support is also provided, along with ongoing information, referral and safety planning.

Population(s) Served

Youth and Outreach Program

AVDA operates a Teen Abuse & Prevention Program (TAPP), a weekly prevention session that targets at-risk, incarcerated youth and provides life skills and discussion pertaining to family violence, dating abuse, and conflict resolution. AVDA's Outreach Specialist is available for health fairs, church events and community gatherings and can present on a variety of domestic abuse-related topics.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.
