Through this formula grant allocation, Zerov delivers coordination and technical assistance services that facilitate multi-agency responses to gender-based violence. The program emphasizes victim-centered coordination, interagency collaboration, and the integration of trauma-informed approaches to address survivor needs. The coalition's work encompasses case management, safety planning, and coordination with partner organizations including the Kentucky Department for Local Government, Kentucky Housing Corporation, and other state and local entities to ensure comprehensive, coordinated responses to violence against women throughout the state.
