Santosuosso honors domestic violence victim and asks about funding flow

Thank you so much, Chair, and thank you so much for being here.

I want to start by just acknowledging that we recently lost a constituent in our district to murder in an extreme act of domestic violence, Maria Inez Granda.

And so in her honor, I just want to thank all the advocates that are doing this work and thank you to the Office of Gender-Based Violence for what you do.

With that, I have just a few questions.

Just to follow up on Councilmember Gutierrez's question, I think sort of what I was hearing is with that $15 million,

plus in additional resources.

I know in your testimony you said it looks like it will support programs and services, legal services, et cetera.

I guess I'm curious how much of that will actually flow to CBOs and the providers in the family justice centers versus sort of like administrative and centralized costs.

I was like, of that $15.7 million, all of it is for programs that are contracted programs.

So, love to hear that.
