About Mission Granbury

In 2009 alone, Mission Granbury services made a positive difference in the
lives of 11,718 Hood County residents.

  • 221 women and children who are victims of family violence received
    comprehensive residential shelter services at the Ada Carey Center for
    Women & Children.
  • 395 victims of family violence and sexual assault received nonresidential
    victims' assistance services such as therapeutic counseling,
    case management, legal advocacy, court accompaniment, and help in
    obtaining community services.
  • 48 abused and neglected children who had been removed from their
    homes had a voice in court thanks to the CASA (Court Appointed
    Special Advocates) volunteers.
  • 180 low-income individuals received help in obtaining pro-bono legal
    assistance.
  • 5,595 people received crisis intervention and information & referral on
    our 24/7 Crisis Hotline.
  • 5,799 needy individuals in crisis--- men, women, and children---
    received help with basic needs (such as utility assistance, food,
    prescriptions, and homelessness prevention services) through our
    Emergency Assistance Program.

Mission Granbury programs include the Ada Carey Center for Women &
Children, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), the Emergency
Assistance Network, and the Victim's Assistance Program. These four core
service areas work to promote better, healthier, and safer lives by providing the
community with vital assistance in combating the real issues of domestic
violence, abuse, and poverty.

While we never like to see issues arise, we are here to help, and isn't it great
that our community has a shelter that does so much to help so many battered
women and their children? We are very grateful to our community for all they
do to make this possible.

Thank you for your interest in Mission Granbury.
