Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $139,702 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the provision of comprehensive services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and other forms of violence by the non-profit organization Community Against Violence, Inc. (CAV) in Taos, New Mexico. The funding, awarded for the July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 period, will enable CAV to offer crisis intervention, emergency shelter, transitional housing, counseling, legal advocacy, and prevention education to adult and child survivors in Taos County and the surrounding rural and frontier communities. As a minority-owned, woman-owned, and Hispanic American-owned organization, CAV maintains the only accredited Children's Advocacy Center and the only shelter for survivors and their children in the region, demonstrating its commitment to providing culturally-appropriate services to underserved populations.
