Florida’s 42 certified centers offer 24/7 crisis intervention, emergency shelter, safety planning, counseling, and other services at no cost. Additional support includes legal advocacy, life skills training, and community education.
Funding for Domestic Violence Services
In collaboration with the coalition, the Domestic Violence Program allocates statewide funding for prevention and support activities. Florida’s budget for domestic violence initiatives totals $39 million.
