BACKGROUND
The NC Council for Women and Youth Involvement provides grants to The Cathy Mabry Cloninger Center that are funded through the State's collection of Marriage License Fees and Divorce Filing fees and through sexual assault and domestic violence appropriations from the General Assembly. The funds may be used to provide shelter services, counseling, twenty-four hour crisis line services, transportation, court and advocacy services and/or assistance to children who witness violence. The domestic violence funds provide a portion of the salary (99.5%), FICA and retirement for the shelter's social worker. The Marriage License Fees fund a portion of the salaries for 4 relief shelter operators and some food costs for the shelter. The Divorce Filing Fees are allocated to direct client services (e.g., education, job training and placement, health needs, transportation costs, emergency housing).
