March 27, 2022 - Continuing efforts to protect Californians from domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) has awarded $2.1 million to cal oes logocommunity organizations across the state.

Administered by Cal OES, these grants will help ensure continuity of domestic violence services with costs associated with technology needed to provide remote services, community outreach, emergency preparedness efforts, overtime for additional staff, safety planning, and more.

“It’s essential the state continues to support domestic violence survivors, even during the pandemic,” said Cal OES Director Mark Ghilarducci. “The funding going to local organizations will help ensure there is no interruption in essential services to those who need it.”

Known as the Domestic Violence American Rescue Plan Program, funding is supported through the Family Violence Prevention and Services/Domestic Violence Shelter and Supportive Services Grant, with additional funding from the American Rescue Plan. The funding provides grants to offset the expenses related to providing these critical services during the pandemic.

“The $65,000 in grant funding requested will pay for 1,300 rides at $50 apiece (one way) provided by Uber Health to transport domestic violence victims to and from our hospital. Providing 1,300 rides over this two-year project period is a highly achievable objective for our program, since we serve approximately 230 youth at any given time, of whom nearly 70% have suffered trauma from domestic, dating, or similar violent incidents,” said Brian W. Thorne, Chief Development Office at Gateways Hospital and Mental Health Center.

These grants are awarded through a competitive process for which organizations, particularly those working in support of domestic violence and non-shelter supportive services and/or prevention activities or similar criteria may apply.
