HHS staff cuts hurt SA & DV services and prevention

HHS must reinstate Division of Violence Prevention Program Branch at the CDC to ensure critical sexual assault and domestic violence prevention work can continue. HHS must also reinstate the Director of the Office on Family Violence Prevention and Services to ensure continues essential leadership functions of this program. Our communities depend on OFVPS and the CDC Division of Violence Prevention to support our life saving work to provide services to victims and prevent violence in our communities. These programs save lives but they also save money. Cutting these important programs will lead to greater inefficiency.
