The City of Madison's Community Development Division (CDD) funds programs that support persons affected by traumatic events with the goal of increasing safety and stability.

Crisis Intervention and Prevention Service Types

  • Crisis Intervention Support Services work with people who experience violence.
  • Recovery and Stabilization Services provide ongoing support and referrals to key systems. These include healthcare, education, courts, public services, immigration, legal services, and others.
