Women's Resource Center

Women's Resource Center, doing business as Community Support Center, is a domestic violence shelter and non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since February 2009 that serves rural communities in Montana. The organization receives federal grant funding to provide comprehensive victim services and support programs addressing domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. As a prime grantee, Women's Resource Center has demonstrated sustained federal grant funding capability and maintains active partnerships with local law enforcement and government agencies to deliver victim-centered services across Beaverhead and Madison Counties.

Women's Resource Center's federal grant work encompasses a broad range of victim support services and community safety initiatives. Most significantly, the organization was awarded a $497,553 Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women in October 2025, which will fund a 36-month project through September 2028. This prime grant supports identification and assessment of victims, expansion of victim services in rural areas, community education and awareness initiatives, and development of sexual assault forensic medical examination programs in partnership with the Beaverhead County Attorney's Office and Dillon Police Department. Additionally, Women's Resource Center has received multiple sub-grant awards through the Montana Board of Crime Control, the State of Montana Department of Health and Human Services, and the Montana Department of Corrections since 2021, supporting services including emergency shelter provision, victim advocacy, legal assistance, sexual assault services (SASP), victim compensation assistance program (VOCA) services, and prevention education regarding family violence and dating violence. The organization's sub-grant funding demonstrates consistent engagement with state-level victim assistance programs and reflects its capacity to deliver direct services such as emergency shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, and targeted outreach to sexual assault survivors in collaboration with multiple Montana state agencies and local criminal justice partners.
