The mission of the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County is to provide intervention, education, outreach, advocacy, and programs to prevent, reduce, and remedy Domestic Violence in Chester County.

DVCCC began as the YWCA Women's Resource Center (WRC) to serve as an informational and referral source for Chester County women. In response to the great need for services, WRC reorganized in 1976 as the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County, focusing on domestic violence intervention and prevention. DVCCC is the only organization within Chester County that has a contract with the PA Department of Human Services and the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence to provide services to victims and their dependent children who present their primary victimization as domestic violence - which includes family and relationship abuse such as intimate partner abuse, teen dating violence, elder abuse, child abuse, and forms of human trafficking.

The vision of the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County is to eliminate Domestic Violence in Chester County.

We believe that all people and children are entitled to a safe environment free from violence. We recognize that every person is at risk, and we are committed to working collectively and cooperatively to end violence against women, men, and children in our community. We believe that each person has the ability and right to control their own life. We are committed to empowerment-based support services which affirm a person's competence to make decisions. We believe we must take an active role in increasing public awareness that domestic violence is a crime and in advocating systems change, in order to reduce tolerance for domestic violence in our community.

DVCCC is the only organization in Chester County that has the contract with the US Department

of Human Services and PCADV to provide services to victims that present their primary victimization as domestic violence, which includes family and/or relationship violence such as intimate partner violence, dating violence, human trafficking, and elderly family and/or intimate partner violence.

“Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time."

- Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG).

​

RBG’s words speak to the impact that any action, no matter how small or how grand, can have a lasting impact on the lives of individuals, and families, and change can happen with a measured approach, step by step. These words speak to the survivors we serve at the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County (DVCCC) as they grow step by step to an empowered life free from domestic violence.

But change can be very challenging and at times is not always welcomed. It does require adaptation and many times working and rising together. That has truly been the case this year. While Fiscal Year 2020 (July 1, 2019), started as a “normal” year for us at DVCCC, it ended as one we will never forget.

​

We could not have anticipated how the Covid-19 Pandemic would change our world in the way we live and work. But one thing has not changed – domestic violence. And in fact, the reality is the pandemic has increased the occurrence of domestic violence as unemployment, work-at-home orders, financial struggles, and home schooling have played as triggers for abuse, while support systems have been cut off.

But during the COVID-19 pandemic, the DVCCC’s services never stopped. DVCCC continued to help victims and survivors not only by answering phone calls, responding to texts and e-mails but also with critical items such as rent, food, shelter and emotional well-being. DVCCC’s legal team has also continued to offer legal advocacy and representation to individuals.

​

How did DVCCC do this?

​

With you, our donors: individuals, businesses, organizations, event fundraisers, communities of faith, United Ways, foundations, clubs, and public funders. The generosity has been incredible. Without these resources, we would not have been able to continue all services throughout the onset of the pandemic. And with our staff: the need for social distancing and the sudden shift to largely virtual/remote service delivery, the DVCCC staff went above and beyond, using creativity, resourcefulness and determination to continually provide programs and services ranging from adult and children counseling, legal advocacy and representation, 24/7 hotline, emergency shelter, as well as public education and awareness services. Their commitment has been essential in keeping things running. And with our volunteers: who assist the Center in so many ways from donating supplies, answering hotline calls and providing court accompaniment for survivors.

The pandemic is not over, and the work to implement existing and continued services to our clients will hold additional challenges. But we are determined and hopeful. DVCCC finds its strength in valuing each other and working together – including staff, volunteers, clients, partners and supporters – to find solutions. By doing so, we will take on these tough times and persevere. With your support, we will find and implement solutions to make the most of the future as we keep empowering individuals.

​

As you read this 2019-2020 Annual Report, you will understand the difference that DVCCC makes throughout Chester County, Pennsylvania. Despite these challenging times, your generosity and care for our community continues to inspire hope for what we can accomplish together. We are so very grateful for your continued support.

At DVCCC, we take the words of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to heart because our clients tell us what a difference we are making in their lives. Remember, as a volunteer, a donor, a grantor or a community partner, the actions you take make a difference towards change. And working and rising together can make a grand change!

​

Thank you for making a difference,

"DVCCC lifted my spirits up, gave me hope, and made me stronger as a person. When you feel all alone, remember there is someone out there that will hold you hand and help you stand up again so keep your chin up and you will see a better tomorrow!"

​

"It has not been easy, but DVCCC staff helped me every step of the way. I know I still have a way to go, but I am a long way from where I came from and I now know that I have support to help me on this journey."

​

"Through working with DVCCC, I have learned that it's never too late to go after your dreams and never allow someone to tell you that you cannot do something: because you can!"

In 2019-2020, DVCCC received 3,580 hotline calls

with a steady increase in calls beginning in March 2020, with the the COVID-19 pandemic

Accredited by the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO), DVCCC provides a wide range of services for victims/survivors of domestic abuse including several options for counseling, housing, and legal support at our main office and six additional outreach offices throughout Chester County. In 2019-2020, DVCCC proudly opened our first permanent office space in Phoenixville, hired a third full-time staff attorney and legal advocate to provide our quality legal services at the Chester County Justice Center, and enhanced our leadership team by adding a Victim Services Coordinator.

1,682 brand new adults & 199 children

received 12,491 hours of counseling

​

360 Protection From Abuse cases

were represented and 1,043 individuals received legal options counseling

​

​

​

88 adults & 64 children

received 4,230 nights of Emergency Shelter

​

18 adults & 20 children

safely resided in Bridge Housing for 4,550 nights

​

15 adults & 27 children

found a home in one of our independent housing programs

With the pandemic, we needed to make swift and vital changes to our service provision to protect our residents, survivors, and staff. In this, we quickly mobilized to create procedures to assure proper sanitization and appropriate social distancing efforts. With so many staying in our safe house/shelter program, we knew they were at risk, so we safely and quickly relocated several families to hotels throughout the county. Staff rapidly learned new technologies to continue our quality counseling services remotely, while our dedicated legal team continued to provide their essential services at the open courthouse.

We knew that the stay-at-home orders put into effect in March 2020, keeping many isolated with their abusers, paired with rising unemployment rates could prove to be a dangerous situation for victims/survivors of domestic abuse and we actually saw a notable and steady increase in our hotline calls as well as a significant increase in service recipients (over 51%) once Chester County entered the "green phase" of reopening in June 2020!

The strength of our Chester County community is how we step up and support one another through challenging times. At DVCCC, we were humbled and honored to have the support of so many to assist us in maintaining our lifesaving services throughout the COVID-19 crisis. Local businesses - like Bar Avalon, Vibe Vault Fit, The Classic Diner, Gage Fitness, and more - assisted us by hosting creative and successful fundraising events. We also were grateful to local and state foundations/organizations who provided us with significant grants to help us provide the safest and most efficient services during this unprecedented time:

91 education & prevention programs for youth

reaching 1,894 children & teens

​

77 education programs & trainings for adults

reaching 2,617 community members, healthcare, law enforcement, and other professionals

Successes of Department

In 2019, our Lethality Assessment Program was awarded with a District Attorney's Office Commendation for its role in decreasing domestic violence-related homicides in Chester County. We continued growing our educational partnership with Lincoln University - even adding the campus to our Purple Ribbon campaign in October! We participated in 39 community-wide events, including new & unique opportunities, like the Anti-Human Trafficking Cupcake Competition, where we took home the coveted People's Choice award!

​

Adapting to COVID

With the COVID-19 Pandemic causing shutdowns in our area, we leaned into technology and increased our virtual outreach - developing a successful Coaching Boys Into Men video series in addition to other in-house videos, adding a pandemic resource guide for survivors to our website, and hosting/participating in several webinars!
