Analysis: The Police Department applied to the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) for the Domestic Violence Program. The grant funding is for $276,161, with a $69,040 match. The majority of the grant will pay for the services of two Victim Advocates. The Victim Advocates are contracted through the Community Service Program, Inc. and Interval House. Item 4. - I xB -88- Dept. ID PD-1 3-001 -Page 2 of 2 Meeting Date: 2/4/2013 This collaboration, has been in effect since 1998. Since the inception of the Violence Against Women project, the Advocates have been continuously funded through a series of grants. The goal of the program is to help heal the family and stop the cycle of violence. Without this grant, the Police Department would not be able to offer the services of the Victim Advocates to victims of domestic violence. The Advocates work closely with a Police Department investigator to form a cohesive team to assist victims. The acceptance of this grant will pay for the collaboration involving the Police Department through December 31, 2013. The cash match of $69,040 is located within the existing Police Department budget. In addition, the agreement with Interval House offers priority shelter for domestic violence victims and their children from Huntington Beach on a 24 hours basis. The grant also funds two part time investigators for a total of 1,545 hours to investigate domestic violence incidents in a timely manner, resulting in increased services to victims.
