Governor Kathleen Sebelius has announced the Federal Family Violence Prevention and Services Act grant awards for fiscal year 2005. The 23 domestic violence programs in Kansas receive these federal funds to provide immediate shelter and related assistance for victims of domestic violence and their dependents. Funds also are used to develop prevention and awareness efforts addressing family violence. These grant funds pay for the operation of shelter facilities, support and group counseling, advocacy and other services that assist families who are victims of domestic violence.
“I hope these funds assist in prevention violence in Kansas families,” Governor Sebelius said.
