Mid-Coast Family Services, Inc.

What Mid-Coast Family Services, Inc. does

Mid-Coast Family Services, Inc. is a Texas-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered at 2010 N Navarro Suite A, Victoria, TX, operating with an annual budget exceeding $5.8 million. Founded in 1983 as the Mid-Coast Crisis Center and reorganized in 1999 through the merger of the Women's Crisis Center and the Mid-Coast Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, the organization delivers a continuum of social services addressing family violence, sexual assault, homelessness, and substance abuse across seven Texas coastal bend counties (Calhoun, DeWitt, Goliad, Gonzales, Jackson, Lavaca, and Victoria). Service lines include a 39-bed emergency shelter with 24-hour crisis hotline, sexual assault advocacy and accompaniment, permanent supportive housing, rapid re-housing, homeless prevention, transitional housing through the Gateway Project, in-school youth prevention (Strengthening Families, Red Ribbon Week, CBSG, Life Skills, Positive Action curricula), FAYS family case management, the Resource HUB day center, and DOT-SAP evaluations across multiple federal transportation agencies.

The organization's business model is multi-stream nonprofit revenue generation rather than product sales. Core funding derives from federal and state government grants and contracts (Texas Health and Human Services, HUD Continuum of Care, US DOT), supplemented by charitable donations (cash, stock, planned giving vehicles including bequests, charitable remainder trusts, life income gifts, and retirement plan gifts), United Way affiliate contributions, fee-for-service DOT-SAP evaluations, and three Mid-Coast Family Treasures thrift stores in Victoria (Navarro and Mid-Town) and Port Lavaca that sell donated goods to support programs. All direct crisis, shelter, and counseling services are provided free of charge to clients; only DOT-SAP evaluations carry fees. Distribution is entirely regional and physical, with services delivered at the headquarters, the crisis center, two Resource HUB locations, three thrift stores, in schools across seven counties, and via a 24-hour crisis hotline. Marketing channels are community-oriented: the midcoastfamily.org website, Facebook, YouTube, community presentations, the annual Mah Jongg fundraiser, GoodSearch shopping referrals, and the Amazon Wish List program.

The organization is led by CEO Brett Jones (also serving as media contact), COO Tracy Aguilar, and CFO Laresee Harris, with a Board of Directors including Lee Keeling (President), James Martinez (Vice President), Paul Primm (Secretary), and Margaret Carver (Treasurer). There is no parent company, no private equity backing, and no disclosed external investors; ownership and control rest with the board and executive team. The technology footprint is minimal and limited to a website, social media, and standard donation portals, with no disclosed APIs, SDKs, proprietary software, or AI capabilities.
