OUR STORY
Lemhi County Crisis Intervention incorporated in the State of Idaho in 1994 in response to nine (9) suicides the county experienced in 1993. These losses were brothers, sisters, parents, neighbors, co-workers, and friends. As a result, the community was devastated and looking for support and answers. Mental health professionals and domestic violence shelter programs from Southeast Idaho were invited to our community to help us understand and address these issues of suicide, domestic violence and sexual assault in Lemhi County. It was determined that the county would provide and operate a small emergency shelter. Small grants were written and awarded to provide a support group, educational pamphlets, and workshops that would specifically address domestic violence.
The Mahoney House became a 501(c)3 nonprofit on June 22, 2001. On December 31, 2001, thanks to a grant award from the CHC Foundation, the property on Main St. in Salmon, Idaho was purchased as the official site of The Mahoney House.
The Mahoney House has been on the forefront of addressing domestic violence and sexual assault and providing services to people escaping violence in Lemhi and Custer Counties. We work in cooperation and coordination with other Idaho and national domestic violence and sexual assault programs, as well as community service providers and agencies. We are proud to be a community leader in providing safe shelter, support, and hope to people victimized by domestic violence and sexual assault.
Since 1995, grant funding has been provided by the Idaho Council on Domestic Violence and Victim Assistance (State Domestic Violence Funds, VOCA Funds, Family Violence Funds), Idaho Housing and Finance Association, Steele Reese Foundation, STOP Grant, U.S. Department of Housing, Idaho Children's Trust Fund, Idaho Community Foundation, The United Way, fundraising events, individuals, churches, clubs, and organizations.
