Human Options/OVW Improving Criminal Justice Responses OVW-2022-171037 <br />HUMAN"OPTIONS <br />PREVENT. PROTECT. EMPOWER. TRANSFORM. <br />domestic violence. Through this MOU, the SAPD links domestic violence victims to Human <br />Options' 24-hour emergency hotline so that hotline advocates can assess victim needs and assist <br />in providing immediate shelter or referrals to victims. Human Options and SAPD have also <br />historically cross -referred victims and participated in community -based projects through two <br />family resource centers located in Santa Ana. <br />In 2014 the City of Santa Ana adopted a five-year Strategic Plan, which included addressing <br />community needs related to domestic violence and sexual assault. In support of the strategic <br />plan, the SAPD developed several initiatives to promote education and services to domestic <br />violence and sexual assault victims. Each initiative involved a partnership with nonprofit, <br />community, or government agencies. In 2016, the City of Santa Ana, SAPD and Human Options <br />collaborated to prepare an application for an Office on Violence Against Women (OV W) FY <br />2016 Improving Criminal Justice Response (ICJR) Grant to launch the DVRT. That application <br />was awarded a three-year grant, beginning on October 1, 2016, and ending on September 30, <br />2019. In 2019, Human Options, the City of Santa Ana, and SAPD applied for renewal funding <br />for this project and were again awarded a three-year grant, beginning on October 1, 2019, and <br />ending on September 30, 2022. Human Options, the City of Santa Ana, and SAPD came together <br />to prepare this application in April 2022 to sustain and enhance the existing ICJR project. <br />2.
