It took 33 years of dedication and hard work to build our programs and services.
It took the swipe of Governor Schwarzenegger’s pen to effectively wipe out the last 10.
The budget approved by the Governor eliminates all state funding for domestic violence programs, despite the efforts of the state legislature to minimize the impact.
What does this mean for SAVE?\We will lose at least 20%, or $210,000, of our overall funding, dragging us down to what our income level was in 1998. Our service levels will need to be reduced to compensate for this loss. Picture any of the following devastating scenarios that could become dire reality.
- Cuts to our shelter program may mean 70 families need to stay in their abusive homes rather than the peace and safety of our shelter
- Cuts to our restraining order clinic may mean 90 people won't have a temporary restraining order that can keep their abuser away
- Cuts to our COPS program may mean 160 people leave a police department without the support they need to be safe
- Cuts to our prevention and outreach programs may mean 800 teens won't learn how to have healthy relationships --- and may someday end up in an abusive relationship
- Cuts to our counseling program may mean 32 men and women are without individual counseling to help them heal from their abuse
And that's just for this year…
SAVE has helped more than 200,000 individuals over the years. Chances are we helped you, a family member, a friend, or someone you know. Won’t you please help us now?
