“Child and adolescent program - this program was established to prevent or intervene early in the onset of trauma symptoms for latinx children exposed to domestic violence. Cap takes evidence-based modalities and culturally adapts them for greater efficacy with latinx families. A combination of therapeutic services to children and parenting skill-buildiing for parents is helping to strengthen relationships between abused parents and their children and stop intergenerational transmission of violence while using culturally affirming strategies. In 2021, vip launched two new housing programs to prevent homelessness among survivors of domestic violence. Our rapid re-housing (rrh) provides survivors of domestic violence who are homeless, or at risk of imminent homelessness, with financial resources needed to secure permanent, private housing. During and after the housing placement process, survivors are also receiving intensive case management to establish and attain financial goals for ongoing income and housing security. Our home+ program supports survivors to live safely in their current apartments by installing home alarm systems and security related repairs, along with case management services. These new programs provide flexible and practical early interventions to prevent chronic homelessness among survivors of domestic violence.”
