  History  
  The Illinois Valley Safe House Alliance formed in September 2000 as a response to survivors' concern for women and children in the Illinois Valley who were affected by domestic and sexual violence.  The group quickly grew and the emphasis shifted to securing funds to establish a nonprofit organization.  The Illinois Valley Community Response Team (CRT) awarded IVSHA a seed grant of $40,243 to file the necessary paperwork and complete a "needs assessment" -- how many people in the Illinois Valley and surrounding areas needed services?  What kinds of services did they need? What services were currently available?  IVSHA quickly formed a board and hired a project coordinator in 2001.
