BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse (Alliance), formerly Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative, applied for and received funds from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration (Project) in 2013. The Project has been implemented in phases – an assessment phase (Phase I) and an implementation phase (Phase II). OVW completed Phase I in September, 2014 and selected the Alliance as one of four sites to participate in Phase II of the Project and implement the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP), a recognized promising practice. In 2016, OVW renewed funding in order for the Alliance to continue implementation of the LAP model (Phase III). The Alliance is engaging Stand! For Families Free From Violence to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application.
