History:
On July 21, 2004 The Department of Justice, through
the President's Family Justice Center Initiative, awarded more than
$20 million to 15 communities across the United States to prevent
and respond to violence against women. The City of
Tulsa was one of the 15 communities to receive this
grant. The purpose of the grant is to provide a single
location where victims and their families can quickly and
confidentially seek information and resources regarding domestic
violence and select services based on individual needs or
circumstances. The Family Safety Center will house on-site a
variety of collaborative partners in order to provide clients with
easier access to services for victims of domestic violence and will
be able to refer clients to many other off-site partners for
additional services.

The on-site partners include: Domestic Violence
Intervention Services (DVIS) Advocacy, DVIS Legal Services, RSVP
Safety Shepherd Volunteers, Tulsa County District Attorney's
Office, Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, Tulsa Police Department -
