The Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse (Alliance), a consortium of local public agencies created to address local domestic violence issues, applied for and received funds from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence against Women, Improving Criminal Justice Response Program ("Project").
The primary purpose of the Project is to develop and strengthen effective responses to violence against women. The goals and objectives of the Project are as follows: 1) strengthened support and advocacy for victims of domestic violence (DV), sexual assault (SA), human trafficking (HT), and stalking; 2) enhanced judicial handling of Cases of DV, SA, HT, and stalking; 3) enhanced law enforcement response to DV, SA, HT, and stalking; and 4) enhanced and revitalize the coordinated community response to DV, SA, HT, and stalking.
Alliance is engaging Contractor to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application, including advocacy and supportive services delivered by bilingual staff to victims of DV, SA, HT, and/or stalking, including members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) community in the County.
The availability of services to assist in the prevention of domestic violence, sexual abuse, human trafficking, and/or stalking in Contra Costa County will be hindered.
