Board approves increased FY27 support for Family Crisis Center
Summary
Shelby County supervisors approved a FY27 funding increase for the Family Crisis Center, which requested $750 (up from $500 the prior year) to support victim services and the statewide crisis line.
The Shelby County Board of Supervisors voted Nov. 18 to provide increased funding for the Family Crisis Center’s fiscal year 2027 request.
Presenters described services provided in the county—emotional support, assistance through the criminal-justice process, help preparing victim-impact statements and accompaniment to hearings—and said the organization also operates the statewide crisis line. A center representative said, “Our company runs the statewide crisis line,” and described local caseloads the presenters estimated at “right around 18” county-only contacts in recent counting.
The center asked the board for $750 for FY27; staff noted the group received $500 the prior year. The board moved and approved the funding request by voice vote.
The decision leaves the county’s contribution in place for the coming fiscal year; no conditions or reporting requirements beyond standard county processes were stated during the motion and vote.
