In other DASACC news, The Arc of Warren County and DASACC entered into a memorandum of understanding to provide service access for survivors with disabilities.

It will also include strategic planning, increasing awareness about service availability, and creating opportunities that improve the lives of individuals with disabilities who have been affected by domestic violence and/or sexual assault. Part of the agreement includes committing to cross training between both organizations and assigning staff members to facilitate on-going communication between partner agencies.
