Maricopa County Domestic Violence Hotline Shuts Down
Description
Maricopa Countys domestic violence hotline, which connects survivors to shelter beds, is shutting down on May 15th due to lack of federal funding. The hotline had a low success rate, with only 5% of callers getting placed in shelters. Shelters are already overwhelmed, turning away survivors due to limited beds and high demand. The hotlines closure may exacerbate the situation, leaving survivors without safe options. However, private virtual bed boards and short hotel stays are being used as stopgap measures. Donations to shelters via ArizonaSurvivors.org are encouraged. If in crisis, continue calling remaining hotlines and shelters for support.
