The federal Project Grant award of $546,000.00 was provided by the Department of Health and Human Services' Healthcare Systems Bureau to the non-profit organization Day One in Providence, RI. The funding is part of the Congressional Directives program (CFDA 93.493), which supports community-based healthcare, mental health, and social services projects identified by Congress. Through this award, Day One will implement a 3-year project to provide crisis intervention, safety planning, counseling, medical services, and legal advocacy for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking in Rhode Island. As a prime recipient, Day One will coordinate statewide victim services activities, provide training and resources for member organizations, develop standards of care, and enhance community strategies for responding to gender-based violence. Day One has also received this funding as a sub-awardee for other related projects such as protecting victims of human trafficking and supporting children's advocacy centers.
