Opportunity Council - DVSAS - Health & Prevention Ed. VISTA
 
 
 
The mission of DVSAS is to support individuals affected by domestic violence and sexual assault and to lead the community towards ending these abuses of power. The VISTA's service will increase the capacity of children, youth and family services at Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services in order to support individuals and families experiencing or at risk of experiencing violence in order to stop the cycle of poverty. It is commonly known that those who experience this type of trauma are more likely to experience poverty. DVSAS received a Safe Start Grant from the City of Bellingham that has given us the funds to expand our children and family services with special focus on the 87% of our clients that are low or very low income.
