The article from MSN discusses how the Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) has allocated $1.5 million in grants to support domestic violence survivors and their families across the state. This funding, part of the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA), aims to enhance services like emergency shelters, counseling, and support programs. The grants are distributed among various organizations, including the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence, which received $150,000 to aid in statewide prevention and intervention efforts.
