Haven Hills Forced to Eliminate Programs in response to Governor's budget cuts
The Governor, using his line-item veto power, eliminated the CDPH (California Department of Public Health) grant for all Domestic Violence Programs. Immediately, Haven Hills lost $207,000 that funded our Teen Program, (our prevention segment that addressed healthy relationships and teen dating violence) and our children's program at Haven Two, our 18-month Transitional Housing and Employment program.
These program eliminations mean the loss of counseling and instructional services including teaching healthy relationships and non-violent behavior to 1,418 teens and 45 younger children. We will no longer have a children's group nor a children's counselor at Haven Two. In trying to maintain our crisis intervention components, we are losing critical violence prevention components. Counseling children is a vital part of breaking the cycle of violence. As one child wrote, "I know now that it was not my fault. I used to think it was".
By eliminating the State-funded Domestic Violence Program, the Governor has endangered the lives of victims and children fleeing abuse. Please help us keep these victims safe and help them break the cycle of violence because, as another child wrote "Our moms don't deserve to get beaten and we don't deserve to see it".
This is a critical time for the victims and their children who turn to Haven Hills for help. Your generous donation is the key to their violence-free life. Please donate now to help those in need.
Thank You!
