Domestic Violence Prevention and Intervention Programs provide crisis intervention to victims of domestic violence and their vulnerable family members. Grantees function as a safety net for victims and provide quality comprehensive domestic violence services to victims and their vulnerable family members. The goal of service delivery is to prevent domestic violence by meeting the immediate crisis and long-term needs of victims and their vulnerable family members.
The objectives are to provide safe, secure shelter to protect victims and their children from further abuse; to provide information, support, counseling and advocacy services to help victims become aware of and take advantage of their rights and options; to provide supportive services that help victims become self-sufficient and enable them to live in nonviolent homes; and to educate and inform the community that abusing a family member is a crime that will not be tolerated.
The Provider shall adhere to the requirements and provide services in accordance with the Department’s Program Manual for domestic violence services located on the DHS web-site at http://www.dhs.state.il.us and the Illinois Domestic Violence Service Guidelines Manual located at http://www.ilcadv.org/resources/services_guidelines/ServicesGuidelinesManualcurrent.pdf
