October 15, 2013 HARTFORD, Conn. - We are halfway through Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and new data shows that such violence is a major factor driving up the homeless population in Connecticut.
According to Karen Jarmoc, executive director of the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence, DV agencies dealt with more than 56,000 victims last year, which is a big number for a small state. She reacted to the latest data, showing that one in five who were homeless at the start of 2013 had experienced domestic violence, and 14 percent said it played a direct role in their being homeless.
"Domestic violence arrests make up for more than one-third of all the cases in our criminal court; and sometimes, that victim then seeks shelter, for safety, because that can be a volatile time," she said. Jarmoc said there are 18 domestic violence shelters in Connecticut, and they run at 95 percent capacity.
