About

The Partnership’s new Building Opportunities for Survivors’ Success (B.O.S.S.) Program is a targeted regional initiative launched with support from the Allstate Foundation. The B.O.S.S. Program will help three Sacramento-area service providers (My Sister’s House, WEAVE and the homeless services organization Women’s Empowerment) support domestic violence survivors in achieving the financial stability necessary to keep their families safe.  

Economic concerns are the most frequently cited reason survivors return to abusive relationships. In order for survivors to build new, violence-free lives, they must have a solid financial foundation. Over the course of the coming year, the Partnership will use funding provided by the Allstate Foundation to support the participating agencies in training their domestic violence advocates to teach Allstate’s financial curriculum to their clients.

By enhancing services and programs to include economic empowerment activities and training for survivors, we will educate, support and empower survivors of domestic violence in their efforts to achieve safety and economic security.
