Schumer, flanked by advocates, law enforcement and survivors, explained that even though funding expired last February, Congress has yet to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). According to statistics from the Vera House’s annual report, the Syracuse Police Department responded to 10,785 domestic calls in 2018, arresting 1,320 for crimes related to domestic violence. Schumer said that considering these statistics, it is of the utmost importance for organizations like Vera House, law enforcement and other service providers to have sufficient access to federal funding and programs to provide support and recovery services to victims and survivors. Therefore, Schumer urged his colleagues in the Senate to take up the bipartisan, commonsense, House-passed 5-year extension of VAWA, which would establish and reauthorize a number of federal grant programs designed to ensure that survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and assault receive the support they need to heal from horrific crimes.</p>"}}
