Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $341,931 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant to the Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County, Inc. (DAP) on January 1, 2024. This project grant, with a performance period running through December 31, 2024, supports DAP's efforts to provide a comprehensive range of services to victims of domestic violence and their children in Media, Pennsylvania. The funding enables DAP, a non-profit organization, to offer emergency shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, and assistance in obtaining permanent housing. As the sole provider of domestic violence services in Delaware County, DAP leverages this CoC Program grant to quickly house homeless victims and minimize their time without permanent housing. Additionally, as a sub-grantee of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime & Delinquency, DAP receives Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding to provide crisis counseling, support groups, a 24-hour hotline, and other critical services to address the needs of those affected by domestic abuse.
