Early Learning Coalition of Escambia County Legal Services of North Florida Veterans Legal Assistance More than 35,000 veterans make Escambia County home, and records indicate that 18% of our homeless population has served in the military. Legal representation for these veterans in Social Security and VA benefits cases, unemployment compensation cases, and tax controversy cases, among others, addresses key issues affecting their financial stability. Northwest Florida Legal Services Domestic Violence The Florida Department of Law Enforcement statistics for Escambia County showed an increase in domestic violence related offenses from 3,351 cases in 2011 to 3,527 cases in 2012. The Domestic Violence program educates clients and provides advice about their rights to protection from domestic violence under Florida law. This support provides them the opportunity to seek and maintain employment without interference by the abuser. The Salvation Army Social Services/Basic Needs 17.8% of the population of Escambia County lives below the poverty level. The Social Services/Basic Needs program addresses the area of financial stability by providing short-term emergency assistance. Program participants are given the opportunity to identify skills and resources to increase their knowledge for a better quality of life through a life skills class. 11 Early Learning Coalition of Escambia County In Florida, 32% of our children live in a family with no parent working fulltime, 21% live in a family below the poverty line, and 38% live in a single parent home. The Early Learning Coalition helps stabilize educational and employment opportunities among low-income working families by enabling them to access the affordable child care they need to remain employed and achieve financial stability.
