Governor Laura Kelly has announced Kansas has been awarded nearly $4 million, through the American Rescue Plan to support survivors of domestic violence and their children and expand COVID 19 resources. The purpose of these supplemental funds is to prevent, prepare for and respond to COVID 19 with an intentional focus of increasing access to COVID 19 testing, vaccines and mobile health units to mitigate the spread of this virus and increase supports for domestic violence survivors. Within these parameters, Grant recipients have flexibility to determine which services best support the needs of survivors, children and families experiencing family violence, domestic violence and dating violence.
Kelly says the State will continue to use every tool possible to protect Kansas families and communities from COVID and support survivors of domestic violence.
