"For decades, the federal Victims of Crime Act has been the backbone of this support system. In California, nearly one million people — our neighbors, coworkers, and friends — rely on VOCA-funded programs every year. These programs provide forensic exams after an assault, vans that pick up someone fleeing violence, legal aid for a restraining order, rent for emergency shelter, and counseling that helps to process trauma and begin healing.

“But today, these programs are at risk. Due to drastic cuts in federal funding, the organizations that victims of crime rely on are facing a crisis. Without our intervention, we aren’t just looking at reduced services. We are looking at locked doors, laid-off advocates, and thousands of survivors left to navigate their violence and trauma alone.”

Thank you, Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo for leading the charge and calling on Governor Gavin Newsom to fund victim services in the California Budget.

The bipartisan Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act ( ) offers a commonsense solution to stabilize the Crime Victims Fund without using taxpayer dollars. Swift Senate passage of the CVFSA is critical to prevent further disruption to victim services and ensure survivors continue to receive lifesaving support.

Survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence have urgent, ongoing housing, legal, economic, health, safety, and other human needs. California can’t support them without federal funding. It’s time for Congress to increase fiscal year 2027 funding to meet survivors’ urgent needs.

From the article: Arianna Smith stood outside the Motel 6, holding onto her bags and wondering what to do next. A motel manager had just asked her to leave after her voucher for a 2-week stay ended. And it was raining.

“I remember the hotel manager said ‘you got to get out, I don’t care,’” said Smith.

Smith had landed at the motel after leaving an abusive living situation with roommates.

Sitting in the rain with bags of her belongings, she was approached by a man and woman, who said that they had a halfway house nearby.

She accepted, but shortly after arriving had to leave due to problems with housemates facing addiction, what Smith described as a “crack house.” It would be the first of several unstable homes where Smith would temporarily stay in her search for safety after fleeing domestic abuse.

It’s a common story for survivors trying to access a social service landscape that’s become more and more unstable due to unstable federal funding.

The county’s shelters offering services to abuse survivors like Smith face mounting confusion over how to continue operations amid the trickle-down of federal funding cuts.

“Programs have really grappled with a lot of uncertainty,” said Krista Colón, executive director of the state’s coalition of domestic violence shelters known as the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence.

From article: “Before I say anything, I want everyone here to take a moment and think about someone finally reaching out for help and there’s no one here to answer,” Jazz LedBetter said to a crowd of over 250 survivors of abuse and advocates against domestic violence and sexual assault.
LedBetter was speaking on the lawn of the state Capitol as part of an effort to press California lawmakers to include $100 million in the state budget that would cover a gap in money for domestic violence and sexual assault services caused by a drop in federal funds.
..The crowd assembled before LedBetter called on Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom to step up to support survivors where the federal government has let them down.

Federal funding is critical to ensuring survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault can access lifesaving services and support. Funding delays have real and immediate consequences for survivors and the programs they depend on. Senator Alex Padilla Senator Adam Schiff U.S. Representative Young Kim Congressman David G. Valadao Congressman Ken Calvert: Tell the DOJ and HHS to immediately publish NOFOs and expedite the release of congressionally appropriated funds. Survivors can’t wait.
