The Domestic Violence Services Network works with local courts and agencies to help end the cycle of domestic violence by providing support, advocacy, and resources to victims. Referrals have increased by more than 30 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic, as many victims have been confined to homes with abusive partners. The Services Network addresses this vulnerable population’s need for food, housing, and income. To learn more, click here.
