The NYS Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence (OPDV) is accepting proposals to manage, operate and promote the NYS Domestic & Sexual Violence Hotline, hereinafter referred to as The Hotline.
OPDV will fund one grant of up to $1,860,000.00 for the contract period October 1, 2021 – September 30, 2024. Applicants should fall into one of the following categories: NYS domestic violence providers/programs that are licensed and/or approved by the NYS Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS); NYS rape crisis programs approved by the NYS Department of Health (DOH); NYS victim assistance programs currently funded by the Office of Victim Services (OVS);Other organizations as designated by the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NYSCADV) provider directory; or other organizations as designated by the New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NYSCASA) provider directory. Applicants may apply as individual organizations. Joint applications are allowable so long as all parties meet the eligibility requirements outlined above. The primary applicant should include a letter of intent from the partnering organization demonstrating the plan for providing joint services as the hotline. Partnering organizations must also meet the eligibility criteria outlined above. Letters of intent from entities that do not meet the eligibility requirements outlined above will not be allowed and the application will be disqualified.
The statewide, toll-free, confidential Hotline operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. It provides trained counselors who respond to a variety of service needs including crisis intervention, supportive counseling, and information and referral service. The Hotline can be contacted via phone, text or chat. Individuals contacting the Hotline include victims of domestic and sexual violence, concerned others (e.g., family members, friends and co-workers), and professionals (e.g., professionals from human services, health care and criminal justice). The Hotline provides multi-language accessibility as well as 711 Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS). TRS permits persons with a hearing or speech disability to use the telephone system via a text telephone (TTY) or other device to call persons with or without such disabilities. Additionally, the Hotline connects callers to their local domestic violence service providers by actively listening, responding to caller needs, and directly connecting the caller to their local provider. This is a vital element of the Hotline’s service provision because it assists the caller in making a potential long-term connection to domestic violence services in their communities. |
