About DVSAC
The Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Council of Greater Miami (DVSAC) is the result of a community-based effort that began in 2001. This process produced the Miami Dade County Domestic Violence Report Assessment of Gaps in Services, which was published on December 15, 2003. The primary recommendation of the DV Report was creation of a multidisciplinary community-based Council to provide an ongoing forum for discussion, collaboration, and resolution to systemic issues.
Although the DVSAC is primarily a volunteer organization, the Miami-Dade County Alliance for Human Services and the Miami-Dade County Domestic Violence Oversight Board earmarked resources in the 2004-2007 funding cycle to support part-time staff.
Membership in DVSAC is free and open to individuals and organizations in Miami-Dade. Members are expected to agree with and support the vision, mission, and values of the Council, to attend meetings regularly (generally monthly), and to participate to implement Council objectives. Participation will be inclusive rather than exclusive.
