Description
The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) administers this Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) continuation program for Georgia domestic violence service providers. Funding supports emergency shelter, supportive services, and access to community-based programs for victims and their children, alongside efforts to prevent family, domestic, and dating violence.
The program emphasizes trauma-informed responses that promote healing, recovery, social and emotional well-being, and resilience among children exposed to domestic violence. Supported services include counseling, advocacy, safety planning, and connections to community resources. Applicants must explain how their work addresses one or more priorities: increasing entry points for underserved populations, addressing teen dating violence, serving children exposed to violence, or improving access to mental health and substance abuse services.
