KCSC 2019 data shows 64% of our DV clients are unemployed. Financial difficulties are among the top reasons that trap victims in an abusive relationship. KCSC’s “Safety Net” program raises money and receives donations from the community every year, and with that money, KCSC helps to assist clients with rent, transportation, grocery, and utility payment short-term as well as supports their independent financial planning in the long-term.
KCSC supports the pursuit of victims’ safety, empowerment, and welfare by establishing a support plan according to the individual situation of each victim.
KCSC provides support services in one place for a victim’s convenience by working in conjunction with other KCSC programs.
These include:
KCSC provides a Transitional Housing Program for victims of homelessness due to domestic violence. The program provides shelter and support services to survivors of Domestic Violence and their dependent children, ensuring a safe and affordable housing option within the community. Depending on eligibility requirements and each survivor’s circumstance, the length of stay and type of support can be determined and adjusted.
KCSC’s Transitional Housing Program honors each individual’s process and timeline for support depending on each survivor’s situation and goals. The Transitional Housing Program staff will support victims through planning and case management to find permanent homes.
In hopes of the increased awareness of domestic violence in the Asain community, the KCSC Victim Services team provides free community workshops for the community members in Korean, Chinese, and English. The participants should expect to gain basic knowledge of domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual violence issues in the Asian community. In addition, the participants will learn about the available resources in the community. For any workshop request, please email Program Director Pyo Wook Han (phan@kcscgw.org).
