The ETHNICITY FILTER is now available on Management and Standard Reports. This means you can run Client Information, Service, Medical/CJ, and Client Detail Reports for Hispanic or Non-Hispanic clients.
Domestic Violence
Client Information Reports now display the number of Transitional Housing Clients in addition to Walk-in, On-Site Shelter, and Off-Site Shelter in the Client Type Table.
Remember that a client is classified as Walk-in if they have not received any type of Shelter or Transitional Housing service. However, clients may be counted more than once in the other categories. For example, if a client received Off-Site Shelter services, then moved to On-Site Shelter, and subsequently moved into the Transitional Housing Program, that client would be counted as an On-Site Shelter Client, an Off-Site Shelter Client AND a Transitional Housing Client.
Domestic Violence
Transitional Housing has also been added to the CLIENT TYPE FILTER for Standard Reports in addition to Walk-in, On-Site Shelter, and Off-Site Shelter.

If you only need help with figuring out percentages, skip to Step 4 starting on page 5.

The Analysis of Shelter Utilization by Victims of Domestic Violence project was funded by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) in the spring of 2008 to address two primary issues: 1) The shelter and service utilization patterns and outcomes and housing needs of women who are domestic violence victims, and 2) the stages in the process by which they make changes in their situation.
While physical abuse was the top primary presenting form of abuse for domestic violence victims seeking services between 1998 and 2005, victims seeking assistance for emotional abuse increased from 25 percent in 1998 to 41 percent in 2005, according to InfoNet, a web-based data collection and reporting system used by victim service providers in Illinois.
The impact of domestic violence on society reaches far beyond devastation inflicted on the lives of its victims and their children. Its adverse impact extends to the health care, criminal justice, court, child welfare, mental health, and social service systems.
This summary highlights the findings from analysis of domestic violence service data obtained by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) through its InfoNet system between the period of January 1, 1998 and December 11, 2005.
The analyses presented here were conducted in order to look more fully at these issues. They build upon our previous work examining both domestic violence data and sexual assault/abuse information for the Illinois Criminal Justice and Information Authority. The domestic violence data with which we worked made clear that there were differences in the circumstances of abuse, paths into referral and assessed service need for some groups, including victims of color versus those who were White, older versus younger victims and victims in rural settings compared to those in Cook County.
Millions of dollars are designated for victim services each year in Illinois, but until recently it’s been hard to accurately measure the benefit of those funds on clients and programs. Limitations in the collection and analysis of data made it difficult to track trends in victimization and direct resources to where they were most needed.
