Harmony house transitional housing program for domestic violence survivors

The Family Violence Center, Inc., doing business as Harmony House, was awarded a $449,942 Project Grant from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women to operate the Harmony House Transitional Housing Program for Domestic Violence Survivors. The three-year award, made on October 1, 2021 and set to conclude on September 30, 2024, will support Harmony House's provision of transitional housing assistance and related support services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault who are homeless or require housing assistance as a result of their situation.

The funding is provided through the Transitional Housing Assistance for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking, or Sexual Assault program (CFDA #16.736), which aims to deliver transitional housing and related support services to minors, adults, and their dependents displaced by domestic violence or similar crimes. The Harmony House program will utilize the Project Grant funds to operate its transitional housing facility in Springfield, Missouri through September 2024, providing temporary shelter and support services to domestic violence survivors and their families in need.
