Summary
Grant Overview
The Domestic Violence Crisis in Missouri
Missouri faces a significant domestic violence crisis, with recent statistics indicating that one in four women and one in nine men experience severe intimate partner physical violence. However, survivors often find themselves without safe housing options, which compounds the trauma of domestic violence and makes it difficult for them to escape abusive situations. In many cases, shelters are at capacity, forcing individuals to return to dangerous environments or live in precarious situations.
