Description
The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) administers Georgia’s Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) funding for emergency shelter and supportive services for domestic violence victims and their children. The program supports trauma-informed care that promotes safety, healing, recovery, and social and emotional well-being. Funded services include confidential shelter staffed around the clock, a 24-hour staff-answered crisis line, case management, safety planning, counseling, advocacy, transportation access, parenting support, and non-residential assistance.
The program also supports community outreach, awareness, and education intended to change community attitudes toward domestic violence. Priority areas include expanding access for underserved populations, addressing teen dating violence and children’s exposure to violence, and improving access to mental health and substance abuse services. Applicants must describe how they provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services.
