Survivor Emergency Relief Fund

*At this time, ACESDV does not have available funds in the Survivor Emergency Relief Fund. We will update this page as soon as additional resources become available. Survivors in need of support may still contact the Arizona Sexual and Domestic Violence Helpline for information, referrals, and available community resources.

The Survivor Emergency Relief Fund helps support domestic violence survivors with costs associated with accessing safety, healing, and security *when funding is available.

Please reach out to The Arizona Sexual and Domestic Violence Helpline (via the button links above) for a one-time financial payment for:

• Providing financial assistance for housing and utility payments to ensure survivors can stay in their homes.
• Employment Support: Assist with costs for uniforms, job training, childcare, and phone services to help survivors gain and maintain employment.
• Access to Services: Support transportation, computer access, and phone services to ensure survivors can access vital services.
• Safety: Offer financial assistance for relocation to safe environments.
• Health: Offer financial assistance for healthcare and counseling services to address physical and mental health needs.

With the Emergency Relief Fund, we have supported thousands of domestic violence survivors in escaping abusive relationships, accessing healing services, and establishing safe and healthy homes with their pets and children.

The Survivor Emergency Relief Fund has been the only no-to-low barrier financial resource for survivors and an important tool for victim service providers. We are a statewide organization whose membership is comprised of the more than 40 sexual and domestic violence programs throughout Arizona. These direct service providers often work with our advocates to utilize the Emergency Relief Fund to support Arizona survivors they are working with in becoming safe and beginning their healing process.

Support from individuals like you to support the Emergency Relief Fund truly has the potential to save lives. All funding will go directly to sexual and domestic violence survivors to escape abuse and find healing.

To help support sexual and domestic violence survivors’ need for financial and emotional support, ACESDV is working to continue offering the Survivor Emergency Relief Funds. Funds raised will help survivors pay rent, utility bills, and essential food and supply subsidies, among related expenses. The Emergency Relief Fund will also help finance groceries, travel and relocation costs, and similar essentials for support survivors access to safety.
