 The King County Department of Community and Human Services is now accepting applications to fund organizations providing domestic violence services in King County. This program aims to increase support for people experiencing domestic violence during a period when isolation, increased stress and financial strain can create circumstances that additionally compromise survivor safety and stability. Funding is provided by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and subject to federal restrictions and reporting requirements. Applications are due December 15, 2021 by 5pm.
A virtual information session to discuss questions related to this funding opportunity will be held on November 16, 2021, 10 - 11am. Register for the information session.
