VIP Awarded $395,935 in ARRA Funds
Opportunities for Otsego (OFO) has received notification from Senator Charles Schumer that it has been awarded $395,935 under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to implement a scattered-site transitional housing model that will offer housing location services, short-term housing assistance, and supportive services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in Otsego County. Services will be provided through OFO’s Violence Intervention Program.
The goal of the project is to serve 18-23 primary victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault over the period 6/1/2009 – 5/31/2012. Other services include increasing a victim’s ability to obtain/maintain housing; maintain personal safety and wellness, obtain/maintain employment and experience economic growth, and remove barriers to accessing safety and support services. VIP will accomplish these goals by offering housing location assistance, coordinating payment of housing expenses (i.e. first month’s rent, security deposits, incidentals), offering 50% monthly rental subsidies for 6-12 months, case management, coordination with community employment services, transportation assistance, referrals to supportive services, outreach, and collaboration with community partners. All services will be victim-centered and underscore personal safety, wellness, and housing security.
