From cfvc.org/multicultural-program ↗About this program
The Multicultural Program of CFVC was created in 2003 to assist domestic violence immigrant victims in Cherokee County, with a particular emphasis within the Latino/Hispanic community.
The Multicultural Program seeks to ensure that immigrant victims and survivors of domestic violence have access to linguistically and culturally responsive services through our Multicultural Program, developed specifically to meet their needs.
Since 2014, we have partnered with the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence to manage and answer the Georgia Statewide Domestic Violence Hotline. CFVC's Multicultural and bilingual Shelter Staff answer the Statewide Spanish hotline and provide direct services in Spanish 24 hours a day.
Bilingual advocates are available to assist in finding emergency shelter and more permanent housing solutions.
