The Domestic Violence Program (formerly the Domestic Abuse Assistance Program) is located in the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), Office of Behavioral Health and Housing.  The Domestic Violence Program (DVP) is the sole state government entity dedicated entirely to funding and sustaining community-based domestic violence programs across the State.  DVP ensures that services to victims and their children are readily available throughout Colorado's diverse communities.

In addition to serving as a funding administration, DVP is responsible for working collaboratively and developing partnerships with state entities, counties, and community stakeholders to address domestic violence policy and legislative initiatives. DVP staff provides technical assistance, training, and consultation to state programs, counties, and others.
