TO: City Council
FROM: George Caravalho
SUBJECT: Request for funding for the Association to Aid Victims of Domestic
Violence.
City staff has been informed that the Association to Aid Victims of Domestic
Violence will close its doors to the Santa Clarita residents it now serves.
The agency's previous funding sources are no longer available and immediate
financial relief is nonexistent.
The Association to Aid Victims of Domestic Violence provides several services
to battered women and their families. Services available include a 24 hour
information line, referrals to shelters, immediate intervention services and
other support services; counseling, support groups and restraining order
assistance.
A request to the City has been made for $20,000 to assist the Association to
Aid Victims of Domestic Violence to continue services through the end of the
fiscal year, June 30, 1990. This financial support will allow the agency to
research and seek other sources of funding for next year's operational costs.
