Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $563,539.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) to Domestic Violence Intervention Services, Inc. (DVIS), a nonprofit organization in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The grant supports DVIS's comprehensive services addressing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and adult sex trafficking. Key funded activities include operating a 91-bed emergency shelter with a companion animal kennel, providing 20 transitional housing apartments, offering outpatient counseling, legal advocacy, and community outreach programs. The grant also enables DVIS to deliver specialized services such as victim advocacy, trauma-informed counseling, court support, and prevention services across Tulsa and Creek Counties through sub-grant partnerships. This funding furthers the CoC Program's goals of promoting community-wide efforts to end homelessness, enhance access to mainstream programs, and optimize self-sufficiency for individuals experiencing housing insecurity.
