SAN FRANCISCO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CONSORTIUM 

The San Francisco Domestic Violence Consortium (SFDVC), founded in 1982, is a network of eighteen domestic violence service agencies that come together with the goal of providing high quality, coordinated, and comprehensive services to San Francisco's victims of domestic abuse. The services of the individual agencies include emergency shelter, transitional housing, crisis lines, counseling, prevention programs, education and legal assistance, and are available in the many different languages of San Francisco's diverse populations. SFDVC agencies share information, learn about issues that impact their work and coordinate their services and activities with a particular focus on public funding, specifically coordinating grant proposals and doing advocacy/lobbying of government departments as to the importance of funding domestic violence services.
