Domestic Violence: How Money Matters 

by Kerry Naughton

Oregon, like many other states in the nation, has recently
money<http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs025/1101683687642/img/216.jpg>
been stunned by a significant increase in domestic violence-related
murder suicides. On average in Oregon each year, 18 people are killed as
a result of domestic violence. But in just the past 14 months, 31 adult
victims of domestic violence and children have been murdered-and many
more children have lost a parent or have become orphaned by the
violence. In 15 cases, the abusive partner also killed himself; meaning
that in the last 14 months, almost 50 Oregonians have died as a result
of domestic violence. This represents a 40% increase over recent years.

Some people are quick to point to the bad economy. Others may say the
victim should have just moved out or stayed away from the abuser. While
it is natural to want to find a singular cause of the recent violence so
elected officials can implement a "quick fix" to prevent future
fatalities, truly addressing the issue will take a much more coordinated
and comprehensive response. The recent murders are horrifying-and they
underscore a much larger crisis of violence against women in Oregon:

*        Approximately 30,000 Oregon women experience intimate partner
violence a year.
*        More than one-third of domestic violence assaults are witnessed
by children.
*        One in six Oregon women has survived forcible rape.
*        When last counted, domestic and sexual violence crimes made up
one-third of all violent crime statewide.

It is within this context that Oregonians must address the larger issues
of violence and determine how to enhance and expand existing resources.

The Economy and Domestic Violence

"The economy does not cause domestic violence but can make it worse."
- Sue Else, President of the National Network to End Domestic
Violence[1]

An extensive report sponsored by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ)
found that the incidence and severity of violence against women
increases as the rate of male unemployment increases. Research also
found a strong relationship between subjective feelings of financial
strain and the likelihood of violence against a woman in an intimate
relationship. The rate of violence among couples with high levels of
subjective financial strain is roughly three and a half times as high as
it is among couples with low subjective strain (9.5% compared to 2.7%).

While these statistics show a link between the economy and domestic
violence, it is important to understand that the economy does not cause
domestic violence. It does, however, mean that an abusive partner who
becomes unemployed may have greater access to his victim, which can lead
to the increase in incidence and severity of abuse.

Researchers from Oregon Health & Sciences University and Johns Hopkins
found that 69% of women in Oregon who report abuse are employed at the
time of the abuse. But survivors of domestic violence may also face
unemployment, in some cases because of the violence itself.
NIJ-sponsored research has found that women who were recently abused
(but not women who were abused only in the past) experienced unstable
employment for up to two years. Domestic violence can lead to mental and
physical health problems, which may make it more difficult for the
survivor to fulfill her job duties and retain employment. 

The recession did not cause domestic violence. The recession does,
however, make the need for domestic and sexual violence programs-which
provide shelter, individualized safety planning and advocacy, hotlines,
counseling, court accompaniment, and assistance with public
benefits-even more important.

Two of the recent domestic violence-related murder suicides happened in
the workplace. For some survivors, the workplace is the only safe place
they have, and it is important that survivors are able to receive
appropriate assistance and referrals when they disclose the abuse to
their employer. In 2007, Governor Kulongoski signed an Executive Order
requiring all state managers, supervisors, and HR employees to have
mandatory training on domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
To date, almost 5,000 managers and state employees have been trained. 

In 2007, the Oregon legislature passed legislation requiring employers
to provide unpaid leave for legal, medical or mental health assistance
resulting from domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. In 2009,
the Oregon legislature increased workplace protections by prohibiting
employment discrimination against survivors and requiring employers to
make reasonable safety accommodations for employees in need of
protection, unless that would cause an undue hardship for the business.

Housing Needs and Homelessness

Leaving an abusive partner is a process, not a singular event. Often,
abusers will isolate survivors from family and friends, giving the
survivor few resources for support, or can easily find out where the
survivor's loved ones live, making that an unsafe place to stay. If
survivors are unable to access shelter through a domestic violence
program, they are often forced to return to-or remain in-dangerous
situations. A startling number of domestic violence survivors become
homeless:

*        50% of people who are homeless say domestic violence is the
cause of their homelessness.
*        46% of people who are homeless previously stayed in a domestic
violence situation because they had nowhere else to go.

In 2008, there were almost 20,000 requests for emergency shelter in
Oregon that went unmet because there wasn't enough funding to meet the
need. When shelter beds and motel vouchers are unavailable in Multnomah
County, some domestic and sexual violence advocates have been forced to
recommend that survivors and their children ride the Max light rail all
night or sleep at the airport because these are the safest options
available. Programs in rural communities also struggle-not only to
provide enough safe emergency shelter, but to also find resources to
transport the survivor away from her abuser and out of danger.

"A caller asked me today if I knew of a safe bridge she could sleep
under." 
- Oregon advocate, Domestic Violence Counts 2009, National Network to
End Domestic Violence

Funding for Domestic & Sexual Violence Programs

Money matters. In either a good or bad economy, until domestic and
sexual violence programs are fully funded to provide emergency
assistance, long-term advocacy, specialized outreach, and prevention
programming, Oregon will continue to struggle to address violence
against women. 

The 2006 equity study helped pave the way to increased ODSVS funding in
the 2007 legislative session. A broad coalition of
organizations-including Partnership for Safety and Justice-and staunch
support from key legislators-including then-Representative Chip
Shields-were able to successfully increase ODSVS to $4.5
million/biennium. In the 2009 legislative session, despite dire economic
conditions, the same coalition of organizations and staunch legislative
support was able to protect ODSVS from funding cuts. Unfortunately, the
total funding available statewide is still only a little more than half
what's needed to provide the minimal emergency services.

State Funding Cuts Impact Victim Services 

This summer, due to projected reduction

DetqxTkk0jJvBJcFkU0PWFykE=> in Oregon State revenues, the Governor
ordered an across-the-board 9% cut to state-funded programs.

The impact of the cuts proposed by each State Division was most
significant for the domestic violence shelters in Multnomah County,
which received a 27% cut in State funding through the State Homeless
Assistance Program (SHAP). Oregon Housing and Community Services
Division (OHCSD), which administers SHAP funds, chose to take almost the
entire 9% cut out of SHAP. The $60,000 reduction in SHAP funds was
divided equally among the four domestic violence shelters funded by
Multnomah County (Bradley Angle, YWCA Yolanda House, Raphael House of
Portland and Salvation Army West Women's and Children's Shelter). 

In the last year, all of the domestic violence programs in the county
cut staff or required staff to take furlough days because of loss of
funding from private donations, foundations or government funding
combined with increasing costs of health care, utilities and personnel.
This additional SHAP cut to shelters has put more stress onto the
shelters and shelter staff. Although no shelters will close because of
this cut, shelters do expect to reduce staffing, which may at times to
limit their ability to bring in more survivors even if they have an
empty bed.

Future cuts also appear to be on the horizon. The most recent state
economic forecast has indicated that another 8% cut may be required this
fiscal year, with additional cuts for the 2011-13 biennium.

What's at risk in the future? If OHCSD continues to target SHAP funding
for cuts, there could be another $50,000-$60,000 cut to local shelters.
In the next legislative session, funding for the Criminal Fine and
Assessment Account (CFAA) is already at risk, and the Oregon Domestic
and Sexual Violence Services Program (ODSVS) may also be at risk. There
is discussion at the Legislature already to end the earmarks for victim
services and criminal justice interventions funded through CFAA and
rolling all CFAA funds into the State General Fund. This would place the
entire $2 million of CFAA per biennium that currently goes to domestic
violence and sexual assault victim services across the state in
competition with much larger agencies, such as the State Police.

President Barak Obama Signs New Tribal Law and Order Act  

According to a Department of Justice report, Native American women
suffer from violent crime at a rate three and a half times greater than
the national average. Astoundingly, one in three Native American women
will be raped in their lifetimes. 

Recently, Congress took an important step to improve the lives of Native
American women by passing the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010. The Act
includes a strong emphasis on decreasing violence against women in
Native communities. 

The Act will strengthen tribal law enforcement and the ability to
prosecute and fight crime more effectively. The Indian Health Care
Improvement Act will require that a standardized set of practices be put
in place for victims of sexual assault in health facilities. 

The Act expands training of tribal law enforcement officers on the best
ways to interview victims of domestic and sexual violence and the
importance of collecting evidence to improve rates of conviction. 

The Director of Indian Health Services will coordinate with the
Department of Justice, Tribes, Tribal organizations and urban Indian
organizations to develop standardized sexual assault policies and
protocols. Special Assistant US Attorneys will be deputized under the
Act to prosecute reservation crimes in Federal courts, and tribes will
be given greater authority to hold perpetrators accountable. 

These provisions will increase communication between tribal law
enforcement, Federal authorities and the court system. The Act will not
focus only on prosecution but also on prevention. It reauthorizes and
improves programs to prevent and treat alcohol and substance abuse, as
well as programs that improve opportunities for at-risk Indian youth.
