Published purpose
This 7-month project will address capacity needs to allow the Assaulted Women's Helpline meet increased call volume due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The helpline has seen a surge in calls, rising exponentially each week, since the start of the pandemic. Because of the volume of calls, the organization’s tracking system has shown an increase in the number of dropped and unanswered calls because the lines are busy. The funding will help the organization manage the increased call volume until March 31, 2021.
