A Florida nonprofit that provides child welfare services is looking to build a new youth shelter after a series of scandals involving allegations of abuse and neglect.

The Safe Children Coalition of Sarasota, Manatee, and DeSoto counties has named new board leadership, including Tony Gamelin as chair, Brian Goodrich as vice chair, and Chris Stobaugh as treasurer, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports.

"We are so fortunate to have a strong, expert board of directors, with diverse backgrounds and widespread areas of expertise to help guide us through every challenge and take advantage of every opportunity," says Safe Children Coalition President and CEO Brena Slater in a statement.

In 2023, the coalition served almost 9,700 children and families; provided nearly 3,000 emergency safe shelter bed nights for homeless youth; advocated for more than 1,000 homeless and unaccompanied youths; and helped hundreds of children find homes through adoption services, per the Herald-Tribune.

The group's core functions include child welfare case management, foster care, adoption, independent living, prevention, diversion, quality management, and support services.

In addition to supporting the organization's objectives and providing expertise from banking to behavioral health, the board will guide the Safe Children Coalition's capital campaign to build a new youth shelter in Sarasota.
