Partnership for Families, Children and Adults

What Partnership for Families, Children and Adults does

Partnership for Families, Children and Adults is a Chattanooga-based 501c3 nonprofit social services organization (EIN #62-1326050) founded in 1877 and approaching its 150th anniversary in 2027. The organization delivers trauma-informed care across five service lines: Victim Support Services (a 24/7 Domestic Violence / Sexual Assault Crisis Hotline at 423-755-2700, a Domestic Violence Shelter, and a Rape Crisis Center with forensic exams and advocacy); Youth & Young Adult Services (the HOPE Initiative for children impacted by violence, Camp HOPE for nearly 80 children ages 7-17, and the Brighter Futures Supervised Independent Living program for youth aging out of foster care); Deaf Services (ASL interpreting, case management, advocacy, and ASL classes); Elder & Disabled Adults Services (in-home support and advocacy); and Families Services (life coaching for employment, finances, and parenting). Operationally, the organization is restructuring its 12 programs under a unified continuum-of-care model and recently migrated core technology — client data management, human capital management, and CRM systems — from on-premise servers to cloud-based platforms.

The organization serves regional populations across Southeast Tennessee, with current primary operations in Hamilton County and an active geographic expansion into Marion County through partnerships with Parkridge Medical Center and a signed MOU with Marion County Hospital. Geographic scope also includes East Tennessee, where the organization is building the first dedicated Supervised Independent Living group home for girls aging out of foster care — a 10-bedroom facility. Beneficiary outcomes tracked in the source material include a 67% increase in Domestic Violence Shelter stays over three years, HOPE Initiative growth exceeding 700% over six years, and a planned near-tripling of youth served through the expanded SIL program.

The revenue model is a hybrid nonprofit funding stack rather than a transactional pricing model: charitable donations (including monthly giving tiers starting at $15 and suggested $83.34/month for Victim Support Services), planned giving vehicles (bequests, charitable trusts, life income gifts), government grants and partnerships (notably a $1.5M City of Chattanooga capital investment for the Rape Crisis Center relocation), corporate partnerships (DR Horton, Shaw Industries, Pillar Construction for shelter renovation), and foundation grants (Journey Health Foundation for the Accessible Technology Program). The organization is governed by an independent Board of Directors (chaired by John Jackson through fiscal year 2026) and led by CEO Kevin Hyde, who has built the executive team over four years. It holds COA accreditation and Candid Platinum Transparency 2026 recognition.
