  1. $533,750 spent. THE SPOKANE REGIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COALITION (SRDVC) IS A PARTNERSHIP AMONG MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS WITH INVOLVEMENT FROM VICTIM ADVOCACY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, NONPROFITS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. SRDVC'S VISION IS A SAFE, EQUITABLE AND THRIVING COMMUNITY. THROUGH COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP AND NETWORKING, SRDVC FOCUSES ITS INTENTIONAL EFFORT TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AFFECTED BY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WITH THE SUPPORT AND STRUCTURE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE WAYS THAT THEY FEEL ARE MOST MEANINGFUL. (SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O)
  2. OUTREACH, EDUCATION, AND PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN FISCAL YEAR 2025, SPOKANE REGIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COALITION (SRDVC) CONTINUED TO EXPAND ITS ROLE AS A REGIONAL LEADER IN RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND PROFESSIONAL TRAINING TO ADDRESS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACROSS SPOKANE COUNTY AND THE INLAND NORTHWEST. SRDVC DELIVERED TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PROFESSIONALS, AND SYSTEM PARTNERS, FOCUSING ON PREVENTION, EARLY INTERVENTION, AND IMPROVED RESPONSE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION HAS REMAINED A CORE COMPONENT OF SRDVCS WORK. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDED CLASSROOM-BASED EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS FOCUSED ON HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, CONSENT, AND EFFECTIVE NON-VIOLENCE COMMUNICATION. THESE EFFORTS ARE DESIGNED TO PREVENT VIOLENCE BEFORE IT BEGINS BY EQUIPPING YOUTH WITH THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO BUILD SAFE AND RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS. SRDVC ALSO EXPANDED COMMUNITY EDUCATION THROUGH ITS FIREARM TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT (FTAP), PILOTED THE FIRST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURT WATCH PROGRAM AND PRODUCED A REPORT THAT INDICATES THE SUCCESSES AND AREAS OF GROWTH NEEDED IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROTECTION ORDER HEARINGS. IN ADDITION, SRDVC STRENGTHENED ACCESS TO JUSTICE THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION AND EXPANSION OF LEGAL KIOSKS. THESE KIOSKS PROVIDE SURVIVORS WITH DIRECT ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND TOOLS NEEDED TO NAVIGATE PROTECTION ORDERS AND RELATED LEGAL PROCESSES, REDUCING BARRIERS AND INCREASING ACCESS TO CRITICAL SAFETY RESOURCES. SYSTEM COORDINATION AND PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION IN 2025, SRDVC ADVANCED MULTIPLE INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN COORDINATED COMMUNITY RESPONSE AND IMPROVE SYSTEM-LEVEL OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED BY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. THE HANDLE WITH CARE PROGRAM CONTINUED TO EXPAND WITH PARTNERSHIP WITH ESD101, ENHANCING COLLABORATION BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SCHOOLS TO SUPPORT CHILDREN EXPOSED TO TRAUMA. THIS PROGRAM ENSURES THAT WHEN LAW ENFORCEMENT IDENTIFIES A CHILD AT THE SCENE OF A TRAUMATIC INCIDENT, SCHOOLS ARE NOTIFIED TO PROVIDE TRAUMA-INFORMED SUPPORT, HELPING MITIGATE LONG-TERM IMPACTS OF VIOLENCE. THROUGH THE COMMUNITY LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM (CLEPP), SRDVC WORKED CLOSELY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO STRENGTHEN TRUST, IMPROVE COMMUNICATION, AND ENHANCE COORDINATED RESPONSES TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. ACTIVITIES INCLUDED TRAINING, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF COLLABORATIVE STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS SYSTEM GAPS. SRDVC ALSO CONTINUED IMPLEMENTATION AND EXPANSION OF THE COURT WATCH PROGRAM. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS WERE TRAINED TO OBSERVE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURT PROCEEDINGS, PROMOTING TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT THROUGH STRUCTURED OBSERVATION AND DATA COLLECTION. SYSTEMS CHANGE, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND COMMUNITY IMPACT IN 2025, SRDVC DEEPENED ITS FOCUS ON SYSTEMS CHANGE AND COMMUNITY-WIDE ACCOUNTABILITY THROUGH COORDINATED, DATA-INFORMED INITIATIVES. THE ORGANIZATION WORKED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, COURTS, HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO STRENGTHEN INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSES TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR SURVIVORS AND FAMILIES. A KEY ADVANCEMENT IN 2025 WAS THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FATALITY REVIEW PROCESS. THIS INITIATIVE BRINGS TOGETHER MULTIDISCIPLINARY PARTNERS TO REVIEW DOMESTIC VIOLENCE-RELATED FATALITIES, IDENTIFY MISSED INTERVENTION OPPORTUNITIES, AND GENERATE SYSTEM-LEVEL RECOMMENDATIONS AIMED AT PREVENTING FUTURE DEATHS. THE FATALITY REVIEW PROCESS SUPPORTS CONTINUOUS LEARNING, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND IMPROVED COORDINATION ACROSS SYSTEMS. FINALLY, SRDVC HOSTED ITS ANNUAL END THE VIOLENCE CONFERENCE WHICH BRINGS TOGETHER ATTENDEES FROM ACROSS ADVOCACY, EDUCATION, LAW ENFORCEMENT, MEDICAL PERSONS AND JUDICIAL PROFESSIONALS. THE CONFERENCE WAS THREE DAYS OF IMPACTFUL TRAINING AND NETWORKING. SRDVC ALSO PRIORITIZED PREVENTION AND LONG-TERM COMMUNITY IMPACT BY INTEGRATING YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND PUBLIC EDUCATION EFFORTS ACROSS ALL PROGRAMMING. THROUGH TRAINING, OUTREACH, AND SYSTEM COORDINATION, SRDVC CONTINUES TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF VIOLENCE WHILE STRENGTHENING THE SYSTEMS DESIGNED TO RESPOND TO IT. OVERALL, SRDVCS WORK IN 2025 REFLECTS A COMPREHENSIVE AND COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO PREVENTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, IMPROVING SYSTEM RESPONSE, AND INCREASING ACCESS TO RESOURCES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IMPACTED BY VIOLENCE.
