More specifically, they will be expected to enhance family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence prevention and intervention efforts for victims of domestic violence and dating violence who are members of underserved and historically marginalized racial and ethnic communities, by building the capacity of domestic violence programs to provide survivor-centered, culturally relevant, trauma-informed and linguistically appropriate services and to coordinate outreach efforts to diverse communities. The CSSIRC grantees are part of a network of National and Special Issue Resource Centers providing leadership and support to the existing programs serving victims of domestic violence and their children. This is one of four National and Special Issue Resource Center funding opportunities that will be available for competition in FY 2016.
