Domestic violence service providers in Utah will see a significant funding cut to their budgets this year.
A large chunk of funding grants to Utah domestic violence organizations comes from the Federal Governments Crime Victims Fund, which is significantly lighter this year. This comes on the same day that Utah is mandating officers to carry out lethality assessments on domestic violence calls. Among these service providers seeing cuts is The Refuge Utah.
Lethality assessment evaluations predict the likelihood that a domestic violence victim could be injured or even murdered. Taylor said with the budget cuts and newly mandated assessments, The Refuge will be stretched thin.
