The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded an $11,612,554 block grant to the Colorado Department of Human Services under the Family Violence Prevention and Services/Domestic Violence Shelter and Supportive Services (CFDA 93.671) program. The award period is from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025.
Through sub-awards to 26 community organizations across Colorado, the grant funds will support services to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 while increasing access to testing, vaccines, mobile health units, and supports for domestic violence survivors. Sub-awardees will provide safety planning, advocacy, and other services to enhance survivors' and children's well-being. Services address barriers faced by survivors, such as partner-generated economic sabotage and pandemic-exacerbated issues like employment insecurity. The block grant aims to mitigate virus spread and assist domestic violence advocacy groups in maintaining core supportive services.
