Schwarzenegger Eliminates All Domestic Violence Funding
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger slashed state funding for domestic violence shelters from the 2009/10 California budget by 100 percent on Tuesday. Zach Behrens at LAist writes about what that will mean for one local women’s shelter:
The Domestic Violence Center in the Santa Clarita Valley is the only agency that provides domestic violence services in the 200-square mile valley. As a result of Schwarzenegger’s cut, which is immediate, they’ve lost 45%, or $207,222.00, of their annual funding, which they say will force them to close their doors later this year unless the community supports them with donations.
