The Partnership Against Domestic Violence

The Partnership Against Domestic Violence, a nonprofit tax-exempt organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, operates as a federal grant recipient providing emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and trauma-informed supportive services to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sex trafficking in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The organization does not hold federal contracts and does not serve as a federal contractor; its federal footprint is grant-based and consists entirely of prime grants (69% of its award portfolio) and sub-grants routed through local grantees, primarily the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council.

The Partnership Against Domestic Violence draws federal funding from four agencies with near-total concentration. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 28 of the organization's 48 total awards through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), which provides the bulk of its federal revenue. Recent CoC Project Grants include a $874,010 award (January 2026–December 2026) for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, HMIS operations, and homelessness prevention; a $399,832 award (January 2026–December 2026) for similar services; and a $758,744 award (January 2025–December 2025) covering emergency shelters, permanent housing, counseling, and case management. The Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women funds a secondary grant portfolio—9 awards under the Victims of Crime program and 5 awards under the Office on Violence Against Women. The organization holds a 36-month Grants to Prevent and Respond to Domestic Violence Against Children and Youth award from the Office on Violence Against Women (CFDA 16.743) running October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026, under which it implements the First Decade Program in partnership with the Family Wellness Center, providing intervention, counseling, recreation, and supportive services to children ages three to ten and their non-abusing parents in Gwinnett and Fulton counties, and developing training curricula for childcare providers and law enforcement on identifying domestic violence trauma. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families provides six awards. The organization also receives sub-grant awards from the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for domestic violence shelter services and related programming, with recurring sub-awards dated in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.

The combined federal obligation across all awards stands at $14.1 million across the past several years, with annual prime grant volume ranging from two to seven awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Four awards reach completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete. The organization serves over 18,000 women, children, and teens annually through its federal grant portfolio, positioning it as Georgia's largest and oldest domestic violence service provider.
