The training and services to end violence against women with disabilities grant program (disability grant program) is authorized by 34 U.S.C. § 20122

The Community Services For Every1, Inc. was awarded a $325,000 cooperative agreement from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women under the Education, Training, and Enhanced Services to End Violence Against and Abuse of Women with Disabilities grant program (CFDA 16.529). The two-year award effective October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2024 will support a multidisciplinary collaborative team comprised of at least one victim service provider and one nonprofit serving individuals with disabilities. Services will include establishing collaborative relationships, increasing organizational capacity to provide accessible and effective services to victims with disabilities, and identifying service area needs to end violence and abuse against women with disabilities.

The goal of the disability grant program is to create sustainable change within and between organizations that improves the response to individuals with disabilities and deaf individuals who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and to hold perpetrators of such crimes accountable. Disability grant program funds are used to establish and strengthen multidisciplinary collaborative relationships; increase organizational capacity to provide accessible, safe, and effective services to individuals with disabilities and deaf individuals who are victims of violence and abuse; and identify needs within the grantee's organization and/or service area and develop a plan to address those identified needs that builds a strong foundation for future work. Funds must be used to support a multidisciplinary collaborative team that includes at least one victim service provider or tribal organization serving victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking and at least one nonprofit, nongovernmental organization or tribal organization serving individuals with disabilities and/or deaf individuals.
