Thumb Area Assault Crisis Center

What Thumb Area Assault Crisis Center does

Thumb Area Assault Crisis Center (TAACC) is a private non-profit crisis-services organization founded in 1986 and operated as a program of the Human Development Commission (HDC), a Michigan non-profit corporation established in 1965 as a Community Action Agency under the federal War on Poverty framework. TAACC is the state-designated provider of domestic violence and sexual assault services for Huron, Sanilac, and Tuscola counties in rural Michigan, with its Elder Advocate program additionally covering Lapeer County. The organization delivers a comprehensive suite of crisis interventions for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, teen dating violence, and elder abuse — all provided free of charge and confidentially, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

Service delivery spans a 24/7 voice crisis line plus a ProTEXTion text line, emergency shelter (five bedrooms, accessible facilities), a confidential Sexual Assault Nurse Examination (SANE) suite in Caro, in-person hospital response across the Thumb region, non-residential advocacy, legal accompaniment, safety planning, support groups, housing assistance, and community education and prevention programming. Survivors are served alongside their dependent children; the organization also maintains an LGBTQ+ domestic violence support group and a dedicated Elder Advocacy program operated under Michigan Department of Justice guidelines.

The business model is a public-sector / philanthropic funding model with no fee-for-service revenue from survivors. Operating funding comes from State of Michigan and federal appropriations (consistent with TAACC's state-designated status), Tuscola County United Way, and community contributions including sponsorships and volunteer-supported fundraising. The organization has no proprietary technology platform, no digital product surface beyond an informational website, and no AI/ML capabilities — service delivery is entirely human-staffed, trauma-informed, and empowerment-based. Disclosed annual throughput includes 481 shelter nights, 689 crisis calls, 315 survivors served, and 81 Elder Advocacy referrals.
