Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $533,890 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant was awarded to the Family Violence Prevention Center, doing business as Interact, a non-profit organization based in Raleigh, North Carolina, to support its comprehensive services for victims of domestic and sexual violence.

The funding will enable Interact to operate three 24/7 crisis lines, provide emergency shelter, crisis intervention, counseling, case management, court and hospital advocacy, and maintain North Carolina's first community-based Sexual Assault Forensic Examination Center. Additionally, the grant will support Interact's implementation of specialized programs such as the Lethality Assessment Program to identify high-risk domestic violence victims, and the Solace Center for forensic nursing care. These critical services aim to offer safety, intervention, and comprehensive assistance to survivors of domestic and sexual abuse in the Raleigh area.
