SUBJECT: Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA)
Program Memorandum of Understanding
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to submit a Memorandum of Understanding
on behalf of the County s Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative to the "Domestic Violence Prevention
Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA) Program" supporting an application submitted by
STAND! Against Domestic Violence to develop and implement a domestic violence primary prevention effort.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
Since its inception, the Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence (ZTDV) Initiative has been recognized for its
innovation in the area of system change through a comprehensive, coordinated, community-wide approach that
interrupts the progressive cycle of violence, recognizing the cost effectiveness of integrated and collaborative
service strategies.
The California Alliance Against Domestic Violence (CAADV), in cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)will award six three-year grants of$50,000 (contingent on the availability of funds)to local
Coordinated Community Response(s)(CCRs)to develop and implement a domestic violence prevention project.
Funding will be provided to local domestic violence shelters, programs and/or CCR's who qualify as a private
nonprofit organization. If selected the participation of the ZTDV partners in this project would serve as a national
model for the development and testing of domestic violence primary prevention enhancements (initiatives, skills
and protocols) and further enhance the efforts of the ZTDV initiative to reduce domestic/family violence and elder
abuse in Contra: Costa County.
