Maryland Domestic Violence Program (DOMV)
Overview
Description
The Maryland Domestic Violence Program is a statewide program that makes temporary shelter environments and supportive services available through a network of local domestic violence services programs. These programs provide comprehensive services to meet the specific needs of domestic violence victims and their families. Providing these services locally increases the likelihood that victims will benefit from these services and that there shall be appropriate linkages to other community based services as needed. Additionally, provision of services fosters a coordinated community approach to serving domestic violence victims that includes partnerships with law enforcement, courts, hospitals, local departments of social services, and other related support agencies.
History
During the 2011 Legislative Session, the Maryland Department of Human Resources proposed legislation to transfer the Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis/Sexual Assault Programs, to the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth, and Victim Services. This transfer became effective July 1, 2011 through the passage of HB 739.
