ARP: Columbus OH, Invests in Domestic Violence and Stalking Unit

Idea Category: Criminal Justice, Public Safety | Funding Source: American Rescue Plan

Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein used $150,000 of American Rescue Plan dollars to stabilize his office’s budget and save the Legal Advocates position in the Domestic Violence and Stalking Unit. Klein’s concerns were realized as forced isolation and increased anxiety about food, housing, and employment during the pandemic led to a rise in domestic violence incidents. Advocates play a critical role, working directly with domestic violence victims through times of extreme trauma and anxiety--trauma and anxiety often stemming from violence amplified by the lingering stressors of COVID19.
