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

The Tennessee Coalition To End Domestic And Sexual Violence (TCEDSV) was awarded a $750,000 Project Grant from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women under the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program (CFDA 16.589).

The grant will support TCEDSV's efforts from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024 to identify, assess, and appropriately respond to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking in rural communities across Tennessee. Key services will include encouraging collaboration among domestic violence programs to develop innovative strategies that engage diverse community partners in addressing gender-based violence through intervention and prevention. The funding advances the goals of the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program to help address service gaps for victims in isolated rural areas.
