ADVOCATE SPOTLIGHT!! - Vanessa Martinez

Vanessa is a powerhouse behind the smooth, safe, and steady operations of the Family Life Center Safehouse. As Shelter Manager, she keeps everything running with precision—inventory, supplies, maintenance scheduling, timekeeping review—if it needs organizing, tracking, or fixing, Vanessa is already on it!
But her impact goes far beyond logistics. Vanessa supports in-house clients with genuine compassion, steady reassurance, and thoughtful referrals. She also assists with crisis line and on-call duties. Her gift for asking clarifying questions ensures nothing slips through the cracks—if there’s a detail to uncover, Vanessa will find it.
She’s a caring advocate, a dedicated dog mom, and the proud mother of sons—soon to be a grandmother, which she claims is her “next great adventure.” When she’s not keeping the shelter in top shape, you’ll find her reading, listening to podcasts, cooking, or planning her next travel escape.
Vanessa appreciates the opportunity to help others, and we appreciate that she somehow manages to keep the shelter organized, the clients supported, and the rest of us laughing. She brings heart, humor, and competence to our team, and we couldn’t imagine the Agency without her. Thank you for being who you are Vanessa!

SBA Memorial Hospital has been a tremendous community partner and a vital source of care for many of the survivors we serve. Their hospital is essential to the health and safety of families across Butler County. Supporting this sales tax initiative helps keep critical services close to home. We encourage this community to VOTE YES to keep SBA strong for the people who rely on it every day.

Big appreciation to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office for hosting us for training days in the last few weeks. We spent valuable time diving into what it truly looks like to support survivors—together. Our team shared updates on shelter services, advocacy programs, and trauma-informed approaches, while also learning more about the challenges deputies face in the field.
These conversations matter. When advocates and law enforcement work side by side, survivors experience safer responses, clearer pathways to resources, and a community that shows up for them.
We’re grateful for the partnership, the thoughtful questions, and the shared commitment to doing what’s best for those we serve.
