Carroll County Council For The Prevention Of Child Abuse Inc

What Carroll County Council For The Prevention Of Child Abuse Inc does

Family Resource Center (FRC), legally known as Carroll County Council For The Prevention Of Child Abuse Inc, is a 501(c)-style nonprofit social services organization founded in 1980 in Carroll, Iowa, delivering child abuse prevention, family stabilization, and disability services across 19 counties in west-central and southwest Iowa. Its portfolio spans six core programs: Medicaid HCBS Waiver programs (Supported Community Living, Respite, Consumer Directed Attendant Care, Home-Based Habilitation, Interim Medical Monitoring and Treatment), 24/7 Crisis Care emergency childcare for families in emergencies such as illness, hospitalization, mental health crises, or domestic violence, Parent Time-Out offering up to four free hours of monthly respite childcare, Waiver Homes (18+ group homes in Carroll, Greenfield, Harlan, Atlantic, and Guthrie Center providing 24-hour residential support), an Early Care & Education Projects initiative delivering technical assistance and PBIS coaching to licensed childcare providers in four counties, and a Day Habilitation Program launched July 1, 2019 serving 32 clients with intellectual, mental health, or physical disabilities.

The organization is not a technology company — its operating model is built on trained direct-care staff deployed across physical group homes, offices in Carroll and Stuart, and in-home service delivery. Underlying components are people and facilities rather than software platforms; HIPAA-compliant privacy practices apply to protected health information within the HCBS Waiver program, with a Notice of Privacy Practices effective July 2013.

FRC's revenue model is a hybrid of (i) Medicaid HCBS waiver reimbursement as the primary funding stream, (ii) charitable donations from individuals, businesses, and community organizations at tiers ranging from $25 to $250+, and (iii) grants from entities such as the Alliant Energy Foundation ($2,500 in December 2019) and Early Childhood Iowa. Programs are free to eligible clients at the point of service, with payer-side billing routed through Medicaid and county-level early childhood grant mechanisms. Customer acquisition is referral-driven via Iowa Department of Human Services case managers and community-based outreach, with the organization's 40-year presence, parish and Chamber of Commerce partnerships, and events such as the Fall Affair gala functioning as primary demand-generation channels. Leadership comprises Executive Director Tim Nichols, CFO Derrick Thygesen, Marketing and Development Director Sherry Greteman, Day Habilitation Program Director Shari Kitt, and a Board of Directors including Beth Glynn.
