DHS CAF administers the Domestic and Sexual Violence Funds Program. CAF makes grants to private non-profit agencies throughout Oregon that provide domestic violence and/or sexual assault services to adult victims and their children. Services include 24 hour crisis lines, 24 hour crisis response, emergency shelter, safety planning, peer support, information and referral and advocacy. For a map and listing of programs, please go to http://www.dhs.state.or.us/abuse/domestic/gethelp.htm.

Revenue sources for the funds come from a surcharge on marriage licenses and domestic partnerships, the Criminal Fine Assessment Account and the Federal Family Violence Prevention and Services Act funds from the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.

Grants are made to private non-profit agencies through a collaborative Request for Application process with the Oregon Dept. of Justice’s Crime Victims Services Division. For more information on CVSD’s administered funding, please go to their web site http://www.doj.state.or.us/crimev/index.shtml.
