Dear First Selectman Brule,
RE: Fiscal Year 2023 Budget Request
Safe Futures, Inc., formerly the Women’s Center of Southeastern Connecticut, Inc., respectfully
requests $6,500 for the Fiscal Year 2023 (July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023) from the Town of
Waterford. Safe Futures values our ongoing partnership with the Town of Waterford in saving
lives, restoring hope, and changing the future for those impacted by domestic violence, sexual
assault, stalking and trafficking in southeastern Connecticut.
Safe Futures is the sole provider of services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault,
stalking, and trafficking in all 21 towns in New London County. This means that residents of
your town have access to all of the confidential services that Safe Futures provides when
needed. Whether they need to flee their home to our emergency domestic violence shelter;
speak to a counselor on the phone (available 24/7, 365 days/year) or in-person at our
counseling offices in New London or Norwich; require assistance at the New London or Norwich
court houses; have a follow-up with law enforcement and Safe Futures Law Enforcement
Advocate in their home; reside in our transitional, permanent supportive, or short-term living
housing programs; or wish to attend a weekly support group, the services they receive from
Safe Futures are always free of charge, confidential, trauma-informed, diverse-equitable-
inclusion, person-centered, voluntary and provided by certified domestic violence counselors.
During the 2020-2021 year, 149 residents from the Town of Waterford received crisis
intervention services from Safe Futures. Of these, 6 residents stayed in our emergency
domestic violence shelter to escape from their abuser. These 149 residents received a
multitude of crisis intervention services. This included crisis counseling and advocacy at our
New London and Norwich offices, as well as advocates in the New London and Norwich courts

assisting victims to help them navigate the court process and ensure that their abusers were
held accountable.
e 
Our emergency shelter operated at 181% over occupancy capacity, with victims, and
their children and pets, in “safe” hotels when further beds were needed. This was the
eleventh year in a row that we operated at over 100% capacity. Due to COVID-19
precautions, the shelter was kept at-capacity with single victims no longer sharing a
room, causing an even higher use of hotels to meet the increased needs of victims (and
with a 29% increase of victims served through emergency shelter).
e 
35% of the Criminal Docket in the New London and Norwich Courts are domestic
violence cases with Safe Futures court advocates assisting approximately 4,000 victims
in criminal and civil court.
e 
Through the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP), Waterford police officers assess
intimate partner domestic violence victims at the scene of the incident to determine if
they are at risk of being murdered. If the victim is at high risk of being murdered,
Waterford police call a dedicated phone line at Safe Futures, 24/7-365 days/year. Last
year, of the 26 Lethality Screens administered by Waterford police, 
9 were deemed High
Risk of Being Murdered, with officers calling in 11 and 82% (9/11) immediately
receiving services, with all followed-up by Safe Futures Law Enforcement Advocate.
Due to the pandemic, no prevention education programming was provided at Waterford Public
Schools during 2020-2021.
Please do not hesitate to contact Margaret Soussloff, Chief Operating Officer, at (860) 447-0366
ext. 214 or msoussloff@safefuturesct.org, if you have any questions regarding this request or
the programs and services provided by Safe Futures.

in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards

the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.

of Safe Futures, Inc. as of June 30, 2021, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended

provides emergency shelter, counseling, traditional housing, community education, including Violence is
Preventable and Restorative Practices curriculum in local school systems, and support services to victims of
domestic violence and sexual assault and their families in the southeastern Connecticut area.
Income Tax Status
The Organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code,
and therefore, has no provision for federal or state income taxes. In addition, the Organization qualifies for
the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization
that is not a private foundation.
The Organization. recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions when it is more-likely-than-not
the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As of June 30, 2021, the
Organization had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements. In the normal course of business, the Organization's tax filings are subject to examination by
federal and state taxing authorities. The Organization’s tax returns for the last three years remain open for
examination.
Method of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements were prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly,
revenues are recognized when earned and expenditures are recorded when incurred.
Financial Statement Presentation
The Organization follows the reporting requirements of GAAP, which requires that resources be classified
for reporting purposes based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. 
This is
accomplished by classification of fund balances into two classes of net assets: without donor restrictions
and with donor restrictions. 
Descriptions of the two net asset categories and the types of transactions
affecting each category follow:
« 
Without Donor Restrictions ~ Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions. Items
that affect this net asset category principally consist of fees for service and related expenses
associated with the core activities of the Organization.
¢ 
With Donor Restrictions — Net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions that will be met either by
actions of the Organization or the passage of time. Items that affect this net asset category. are for
contributions. for which donor-imposed restrictions have not been met in the year of receipt. Also
included in this category are net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions to be maintained
permanently by the Organization.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, and support, revenue and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Prior Year Comparative Totals
The financial information shown for 2020 in the accompanying financial statements is included to provide
a basis for comparison with 2021 and presents summarized totals only. Such total amounts do: not include
sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Accordingly, such amounts should be read ‘in conjunction with the
Organization’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020, ftom which the comparative total
amounts were derived.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, Safe Futures, Inc., considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investments
The Organization carries investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values and all
investments in debt securities at their fair values in the Statement of Financial Position. Unrealized gains
and losses are included in the change in net assets in the accompanying Statement of Activities.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair values of financial instruments have been determined through quoted market prices or present
value techniques to approximate the amounts recorded in the statement of financial position.
Generally accepted accounting principles establishes a fait value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are 
.
described as follows:
Level 
1 
— Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities where the
organization has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 ~ Significant other observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1, which are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (i.e. quoted prices in inactive markets,
broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency);
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs are used to the extent that observable inputs are unavailable due to little, if
any, market activity for the asset or liability. 
Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best
information available, which might include the organization’s own data that reflects assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost or, if donated, at the approximate fair value at the date of
donation. Depreciation of the Organization’s assets is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from five to forty years.

of property and equipment are charged to expenses as incurred.
Contributions
Contributions are recognized when the donor makes a promise to give to the Organization that is, in
substance, unconditional. Contributions that are restricted by the donor are reported as increases in net
assets without donor restrictions if the restrictions expire in the year in which the contributions are
recognized. All other donor-restricted contributions are reported as increases in net assets with donor
restrictions depending on the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction expires, net assets with donor
restrictions are reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions.
Donated Materials and Services
Donated materials and equipment, if of a material amount, are reflected as contributions in the
accompanying statements at their estimated values at date of receipt. 
The Organization. pays for most
services requiring specific expertise.
Approximately $27,892 of donated services and corresponding expenses have been reflected in the
financial statements. 
Many volunteers have donated significant amounts of their time in Safe Future’s
program services and in its fundraising campaigns that are not recognized as contributions in the financial
statements since the criteria for recognition is not met.

of Eastern Connecticut, capital contributions to the endowment are retained and invested.

withdrawal of capital or earnings. except upon request by the Board of Safe Futures and approval by the
