The Domestic Violence Initiative for Women with Disabilities will empower victims by promoting self-resiliency and closing the gap for individuals with disabilities through support services including safety planning, direct financial assistance, wraparound services, long-term stability, and community outreach. Wraparound services assist clients with shelter, food, and accessing community resources, prioritizing physical accessibility. The project will expand the service area beyond the Denver Metro area to the rural 22 counties in Colorado’s Western Slope region.
