Thirty years of providing services to those in times of darkness

This month marks the 30-year anniversary of the origination of Boundary County Victim Services, which was initially called Boundary County Youth Crisis Hotline. This week I had the privilege and pleasure of speaking with one of its founding mothers, long time Boundary County, Idaho resident, Judy Dirks, about the organization’s beginning. Boundary County Victim Services started as a 24-hour a day, seven day a week suicide crisis and resource referral line for Boundary County youth on June 1, 1988. The idea of a crisis hotline came after Dirks recognized a need for youth crisis services. Dirks, along with various other community members at the time, began to conceptualize what they viewed as an answer to a community issue in March of 1987. Today, Dirks serves as the secretary for the program’s Board of Directors.

Preparations underway for 2020 Census

Every 10 years, the federal government conducts a population count of everyone in the United States. Data from the census provide the basis for distributing more than $675 billion in federal funds annually to communities across the country to support vital programs – impacting housing, education, transportation, employment, health care, and public policy. They also are used to redraw the boundaries of congressional and state legislative districts and accurately determine the number of congressional seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
