Services and programs funded through the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Programs include:
- Support groups for adults and children who have been impacted by domestic violence or sexual assault
- Counseling and mental health treatment
- Transitional housing in order to address homelessness
- Legal assistance, including referrals to legal resources
- Information and referrals to available resources in the community
