This $422,027 Sexual Assault Services Formula Grant from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women will support sexual assault intervention and advocacy services for victims in Delaware through July 2023. Awarded under the Sexual Assault Services Formula Program (CFDA 16.017), the funding will be administered by the Criminal Justice Council within Delaware's Executive Office of the Governor.

Two sub-awards will provide direct services. The YWCA of Delaware will receive funding to operate the state's 24/7 Sexual Assault Response Center, with a goal of serving 3,000 survivors. ContactLifeline, Inc. will maintain its program of crisis intervention counseling, rape crisis advocates, case management and follow-up services for victims residing in Delaware. Both sub-awardees will deliver core rape crisis services statewide through this FY21 formula grant funding.
