The Minnesota Department of Public Safety is seeking applications for Improving Retention in Domestic Violence Programs Pilot Project.
The purpose of this request for proposals is to award one grant to establish a pilot project to increase the rate at which participants voluntarily complete a person-centered, trauma-informed violence prevention program by addressing the social and economic barriers that inhibit program completion.
The program must apply evidence-based interventions to equip participants with skills and techniques to stop abusive behaviors as they occur and prevent them from happening in the future. The pilot project shall address financial, transportation, food, housing, or social support barriers in order to increase the rate of participants completing the program.

- $146,250 is available. This is a reimbursement only grant, with no funds being advanced to the grantee.
