Southeastern Family Violence Center

What Southeastern Family Violence Center does

Southeastern Family Violence Center (SFVC), legally organized as Robeson County Committee on Domestic Violence, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1981 and headquartered at 1407 E 5th Street in Lumberton, North Carolina. SFVC delivers crisis intervention, emergency shelter, court advocacy, housing programs, batterer intervention, and community education to adult and child victims of intimate partner violence and family violence, primarily in Robeson County. Service delivery channels include a 24-hour crisis hotline (910-739-8622 / 1-800-742-7794), a safe shelter with stays typically up to 30 days, on-site court accompaniment for domestic violence protective orders, and structured programs including Rapid Re-Housing, Safe@Home, Choosing Home (launched 2024), CHOICES batterer intervention, WAVE educational classes, Community Dialogues outreach, and participation in the Back@Home NC disaster-response rapid rehousing initiative. The organization employs 11-50 staff and is governed by a Board of Directors led by President Jason King, with Emily Locklear serving as Executive Director.

SFVC's business model is grant- and donation-funded rather than revenue-generating; all services are provided free of charge to clients. Funding sources span federal (Family Violence Prevention and Services Act), state (NC Governor's Crime Commission, NC Council for Women and Youth Involvement, NC Department of Health & Human Services), county (Robeson County), municipal (City of Lumberton), foundation (United Way of Robeson County, Robeson County Community Foundation, Emergency Food & Shelter Program), and individual donations, including tax-deductible in-kind contributions of clothing, furniture, and household goods. Go-to-market is community-led: referrals and coordination flow through the Robeson County Domestic Violence Task Force, partner organizations (NC Coalition Against Domestic Violence, NC Council for Women), and the 211 dial service, supplemented by Community Dialogues presentations to schools and civic groups. The organization reports that 95% of agency income goes directly to assist individuals and families, and it is planning a 2025 relocation to a new permanent administration building at 108 W. 8th Street contingent on funding.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): National anti-sexual-violence organization operating the National Sexual Assault Hotline and coordinating local service providers. Comparable to SFVC's crisis response and referral mission but at scale and with a sexual-assault focus.
• YWCA (local affiliates): Many local YWCA chapters provide DV shelters, advocacy, and housing programs. Overlaps with SFVC's crisis intervention, shelter, and empowerment-based service model, but typically serves a broader mission including women's empowerment and racial justice.
• Safe Horizon: Large New York-based DV, sexual assault, and human trafficking services organization. Comparable in service breadth (hotline, shelter, court advocacy, housing) but operates at metropolitan scale versus SFVC's single-county reach.
• National Domestic Violence Hotline: National 24/7 crisis hotline and resource directory for DV victims. Comparable to SFVC's 24-hour crisis hotline service and referral function, though operating at national scale rather than county-level shelter provision.
• National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV): National social-change organization representing local DV programs and advocating for federal funding (FVPSA, VAWA). SFVC depends on NNEDV's federal advocacy outcomes, making it a direct upstream peer in the funding ecosystem.

Direct peers

• NC Coalition Against Domestic Violence: Statewide coalition that supports local DV programs across North Carolina, including member organizations like SFVC. Comparable as the central coordinating and advocacy body for the same DV service ecosystem in which SFVC operates.
• Family Violence Prevention Services of Washington County: Community-based nonprofit providing DV shelter, crisis line, children's services, and community education in a specific county. Operationally comparable to SFVC in scope and service mix, including empowerment-based philosophy.

Regional players

• Harbor House (various local DV shelters): Local/regional DV shelters operating similarly with crisis hotlines, safe shelter, court advocacy, and rapid rehousing in their respective communities. Direct operational analog to SFVC's shelter-plus-housing service model.
