Sdvc-2026 - statewide domestic violence coalition

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded $370,000 to the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (Sccadvasa) on October 1, 2025, under the Family Violence Prevention and Services/State Domestic Violence Coalitions program (CFDA 93.591).

Sccadvasa, a statewide coalition based in Cayce, South Carolina, provides education, support, and technical assistance to domestic violence service providers throughout the state. The organization serves as an information clearinghouse and primary point of contact on domestic violence for South Carolina, supporting the establishment and maintenance of shelter and supportive services for victims of domestic violence and their dependents. Sccadvasa also develops policies, protocols, and procedures to enhance domestic violence intervention and prevention across the state.

The award obligates $370,000 for the period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in South Carolina. The program funds are intended to confirm the federal commitment to reducing domestic violence and to urge states, localities, cities, and the private sector to improve responses to domestic violence.

Sccadvasa has distributed sub-grant awards to partners including the South Carolina Department of Public Health, the South Carolina Attorney General's Office, and Futures Without Violence to support expanded services for sexual violence victims, improve data collection and analysis, provide human trafficking survivor programming, and enhance language access and cultural responsiveness to survivors.
