BACKGROUND
Children's Advocacy Centers of NC is an accredited state chapter of the National Children's Alliance, the national umbrella organization for children's advocacy centers dealing with child abuse. The CACNC distributes and manages State funds appropriated by the NC Legislature for Child Advocacy Centers across NC. Funds for The Lighthouse will support two positions-the program coordinator and the victim advocate. These positions are not new. This grant will pay 16% of the program coordinator’s salary, FICA, Health Insurance, and retirement and 32% of the victim advocate’s salary, FICA, and retirement. The victim advocate opted out of health insurance coverage. (Note: Two other grants fund the program coordinator’s salary, FICA, Health Insurance and retirement: GCC-54% and CACNC CARES funds-10% leaving 20% of salary, FICA, Health Insurance and retirement for the County to fund.) A GCC grant also funds the additional 68% of the victim advocate’s salary, FICA, and retirement. Remaining grant funds cover costs for the CACNC membership fee and supplies (furniture, cleaning supplies, office supplies, and therapeutic supplies.
