The amount of $2.2 million is appropriated from the Domestic Violence Shelter Fund (DVSF), which is 17 percent of the total funds that the DES had available for domestic violence emergency shelters. This shelter fund report is based upon State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2014 information that is available from the DES statewide contractor reporting system.
