Type and Scope of services to be performed:

This grant will allow the Denver District Attorney’s Office (DDAO) to sustain and enhance the DDAO Victim Advocate Project. It  will continue funding two Family Violence Unit Victim Advocates (VA), one Human Trafficking VA, expand the existing Collaborative Domestic Violence Response Team VA to include firearm relinquishment, and add a Restitution Technician. These positions are critical to meeting the complex needs of victims of crime, with each advocate playing an essential role in helping victims not only with specialized service needs, but in navigating the multifaceted criminal justice system. The project works in close collaboration with the Rose Andom Center, Colorado’s family justice center that provides centralized, collaborative and comprehensive domestic violence services. In addition, funding from this grant will send two project staff to the annual COVA Conference each year of the project period.
