Public Policy

During the 2008 Legislative Season, the Coalition worked hard to prevent a 50% cut in funding to our Children Who Witness and Court Advocacy programs. Unfortunately, due to the state's budget deficit, funding to these programs was cut by %50. The cuts to these vital programs will have a devastating impact on domestic violence victims and their children and a severe consequence to our entire community.

To learn more about the impact of these budget cuts and the other work we did during the 2008 legislative season, download our 2008 Legislative Summary.
