Building the Capacity of Black Programs

American Rescue Plan

Ujima launched The Building the Capacity of Black Programs (BCBP) support for Survivors of Domestic Violence from Culturally Specific Populations.

This Program allows culturally specific activities for survivors of domestic violence to address emergent needs resulting from the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to promote strategic partnership development and collaboration in responding to public health concerns for survivors. The populations targeted for support and assistance via these funds are domestic violence victims and survivors in the Black community, which include the Black community as the African Diaspora in its broadest sense, e.g., Black Americans (descendants of enslaved Africans in the U.S.); African immigrants, refugees, and asylees; Afro-Caribbean; and Afro-Latinx.

Proactively implement and expand culturally-specific programs that provide essential support and resources to victims and survivors of domestic and family violence within the Black community, ensuring access to healing, empowerment, and transformative outcomes.

Increase Black victims and survivors’ access to domestic violence services.

Promote strategic partnership development and collaboration in responding to public health concerns for survivors of domestic violence.

Utilize grant funds to strategically support and empower survivors of domestic violence within the Black community, providing targeted assistance and resources to foster safety, healing, and resilience.

Leverage grant funds to provide targeted support to domestic violence survivors in the Black community, while increasing the capacity of culturally specific organizations to deliver impactful and sustainable services.
