Funding will pay for a contracted Public Outreach Specialist; outreach, materials for sexual assault awareness (such as personal alarm brochures or rack cards, safety or resource cards), client/victim costs (e.g., change of clothing at the time of SA exam, Ring doorbell cameras, and lock changes) and a laptop and printer for the Outreach Specialist. The 20% match will be met with a portion of the shelter's Program Manager. The NCCFW Sexual Assault funding is the primary source of state funding for sexual assault and rape crisis centers.
