Domestic Violence Services Funding & Governance
Summary
Two organizations now serve domestic-violence victims at the Harriet Tubman Family Justice Center after county officials pulled out of the nonprofit. The commission must decide whether assessment fines fund the Sheriff-backed Bridge to Safety or the nonprofit — it deferred the call 60 days and asked both sides to meet.

Impact analysis
Roughly $5,000 a month now, potentially much more under a newly increased state fee.
Domestic-violence victims, whichever program ultimately receives the funds.
Whichever organization loses the funding stream faces cutbacks; victims face service uncertainty meanwhile.
