The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $280,433 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to the Hope And Healing Survivor Resource Center, doing business as Battered Women's Shelter, in Akron, Ohio. This Project Grant supports the organization's mission of providing comprehensive crisis intervention services to victims of domestic violence and their children, including emergency shelter, transitional housing, counseling, case management, and other supportive services. The grant enables the Battered Women's Shelter to operate a 24/7 domestic violence shelter, enhance crisis hotline services, implement COVID-19 safety measures, and support companion animals of survivors. The organization also utilizes this federal funding to partner with state and local agencies on victim services and housing assistance programs, such as the Children Who Witness Domestic Violence program, which offers crisis intervention and trauma support for children exposed to violence.
