Community efforts to house homeless individuals have been successful 100 Homes Campaign – 73 most vulnerable housed to date Permanent Supportive Housing – 85 formerly homeless (50% of total) are currently

housed in units Significant decrease in family homelessness is due to change in classification mandated

by HUD. 97 individuals in families living in transitional housing who were considered homeless in prior years are no longer classified as homeless. Without this change, the number of homeless families in 2014 would be 210 instead of 113.

Frigid temperature in 2014 kept some people who are homeless from sleeping outside.

Issues - Domestic & Sexual Violence Hotline

Issues

• Hotline response to domestic and sexual violence is fragmented: using multiple organizations and phone numbers

• Response to urgent calls is not 24/7 • Lack of capacity to respond timely and thoroughly to urgent

callers

Recommended Actions

• Unify the domestic violence and sexual assault hotline to provide one phone number to all victims that is answered locally 24/7

• Develop and train volunteers to provide victim accompaniment and support after hours

• Issue an RFP to contract for these services • Estimated cost – one-time funding in FY 2015 - $52,000 (8 months) • Utilize DHS Emergency Services to answer after hours on interim

basis

Arlington County’s Proposed Hotline Response for Domestic and Sexual Violence

Issues

• Arlington County’s hotline response to domestic violence and sexual assault calls are spread across multiple organizations, both within and outside of the County, causing a fragmented response

• Multiple phone numbers are being used by the community to attempt to reach staff

• Response does not cover the entire 24/7 period • Callers are not consistently connected with staff or service providers that can

provide direct assistance or ongoing support • Providers lack sufficient capacity to provide a timely and thorough response to

the needs of urgent callers • Insufficient data available to fully determine dimension of problem

Background

The Department of Human Services’ Violence Intervention Program (VIP) has subcontracted its domestic violence and sexual assault call hotline to the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance (Action Alliance) for the past six years at an annual cost of approximately $8,000. The Action Alliance is based in Richmond. They are responsible for providing 24/7 phone coverage and refer urgent callers to the VIP program. However, the Action Alliance has not consistently connected hotline callers with VIP staff, rarely connects callers with local resources for ongoing support, and does not provide sufficient data on the volume and nature of the calls to our locality. According to Action Alliance records, there were no urgent calls identified or transferred to VIP in the first quarter of 2014.

Those experiencing domestic or sexual violence in the community have no single phone number to call when needing help. There are multiple phone numbers known to different parts of the community, including two lines that ring to the Action Alliance, one that rings to VIP, one that rings to Doorways for Women and Families, and one that rings to Crisis Link. There is confusion as to the purpose and expected response from each phone line. These multiple lines must be consolidated into one number that can be communicated to the community for a single, centralized response to domestic violence and sexual assault.

Domestic violence calls are taken and responded to by Doorways on a 24/7 basis; this is not funded by Arlington County. They conduct safety planning and make referrals for victims and offer shelter at their Safe House. However, the County does not have a

comparable 24/7 response for victims of sexual assault. Although some victims call the police, there are others who choose not to get law enforcement involved. Sexual assault victims who call VIP during the day are responded to by VIP counselors however after hours and on weekends there are no counselors or advocates on call to respond. Arlington needs to identify one centralized provider who can answer these calls 24/7 and provide after hours and weekend support through trained volunteers or advocates to provide accompaniment and counseling to these victims. Victims may also need transport or referral to SANE (forensic) medical exams which are only provided at INOVA Fairfax hospital.

Recommended Action Plan

• Unify the domestic violence and sexual assault hotline number so that there is only one phone number that all victims and other parties can call and receive a local response 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

• Contract this service out to a non-profit provider that can develop and staff the hotline, as well as develop and train a cadre of volunteers to provide victim accompaniment and support immediately after a sexual assault

• Issue an RFP for these service and initiate a contract by November 1 • Discontinue contract with Action Alliance within 90 days • Utilize DHS Emergency Services on an interim basis to answer hotline calls after

hours and on weekends.

Estimated cost for FY 2015 contract for services: $52,000
