The rural domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking program

The Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV) received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women to deliver services under the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program (CFDA 16.589) from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The grant funds will support ICADV's efforts to identify, assess, and appropriately respond to child, youth, and adult victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking in rural Iowa communities. ICADV will encourage collaboration among domestic violence programs and law enforcement, courts, tribal organizations, and other organizations serving rural areas to help victims and hold offenders accountable. The funding will aid ICADV's work to address the complex issues faced by victims of interpersonal violence living in geographically isolated rural regions.
