The Yolo County District Attorney has been receiving the County Victim Services Program grant from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services since fiscal year 2016-17.
This grant allows the county to provide services to victims in one location. This location is Empower Yolo and instead of victims going to multiple locations, they can now go to Empower Yolo to receive client navigation, legal aid, counseling, financial assistance, etc.
These funds are a pass-through to Empower Yolo to provide direct services, client navigation, and coordination of services that otherwise could not be provided to survivors in Yolo County. No county employees are funded with this grant and 2024 will be the last year these grant funds will be available.
