Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The Yolo County District Attorney has been receiving the County Victim Service Program grant from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services since fiscal year 2016-17.
This grant allowed the county to provide services to victims in one location. This location is Empower Yolo and instead of victims going to multiple locations, they can now go to Empower Yolo to receive counseling, legal aid, financial assistance, etc.
The funds are used to provide direct services, client navigation, and coordination of services that otherwise could not be provided to survivors in Yolo County.
