Alexandra House responds 24/7 to calls from the Centennial Lakes Police Department, Anoka County Sheriff's Office and Mercy Hospital -Unity Campus as part of your community's public safety and public health infrastructure. In addition, our Youth Services Program offers school -based advocacy, support groups, and prevention education at high schools throughout the Centennial School District. Each year, we assist victims/survivors of domestic and sexual violence from the City of Centerville and beyond. We are the only agency providing these services in Anoka County. Our advocates assist Centerville residents to address their immediate crisis and safety needs and support them in moving beyond the violence to achieve long-term safety and independence. While our services are free to those we serve, they are not without costs. The attached budget details services provided to Centerville residents in 2021, the cost to provide these services, and the unsecured revenue we need to fully fund those services. Your support means so much to us, now more than ever. We are grateful for your continued support of our work. We could not do it without you! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I would welcome the opportunity to attend a city council meeting to discuss this funding request and respond to any questions you may have. Thank you very much for your consideration. Connie Moore Executive Director
