A Model Collaborative Project Toward Making Domestic Violence Centers Elder Ready

Linda Vinton

Florida State University

An interagency collaboration was formed in a Florida community with a high proportion of older residents to fill the gaps in services that existed for older domestic violence victims. Results of the collaboration included the creation of safe spaces both inside and out-side the domestic violence shelter. Targeted outreach to older victims resulted in the local domestic violence shelter’s providing more than 100 hours of crisis hotline counseling, case management for six individuals, and emergency sheltering of one older woman during a 6-month period. A plan for replication of the project was developed and disseminated.

Key Words: collaboration • domestic violence • old women
