Purpose of This Contact Page

This contact page is intended for organizations, agencies, coalitions, and other institutional partners coordinating work in the domestic and gender-based violence response ecosystem. It is not designed for individual inquiries or crisis-related requests.

Who Should Use This Page

Organizational users may use this page to initiate or coordinate:

Inter-agency collaboration or partnership discussions
Coalition or network-building initiatives
Regional coordination and alignment projects
Data-sharing and information exchange frameworks
Joint funding or resource-sharing models
Technical feedback on platform functionality and usage

This page is designed for professional, administrative, and operational communication only. Agencies should continue to follow their existing protocols for direct client services, crisis response, and emergency coordination.

Primary Contact Channels

Organizations may select the most relevant channel based on the purpose of the inquiry.

1. General Coordination and Partnership Inquiries

For high-level questions about multi-agency coordination, regional alignment, or potential participation in cross-organization initiatives, organizations can:

Request an introductory coordination call
Share a brief description of current collaboration needs
Outline existing regional or statewide structures that may intersect with this platform

2. Platform Operations and Technical Feedback

For platform use, account administration, or technical integration questions, organizational contacts may:

Describe the type of users (e.g., coalition staff, shelter administrators, legal aid coordinators)
Indicate any relevant internal policies that may affect data management or access controls
Flag workflow or functionality gaps that may affect coordination with partner agencies

3. Data-Sharing and Information Governance

For inquiries about cross-agency data-sharing models, governance practices, or alignment with existing organizational policies, partners may:

Outline current or planned data-sharing arrangements with other agencies
Identify applicable internal review bodies (e.g., compliance, privacy, or legal teams)
Request example structures for non-identifying, aggregate reporting across organizations

4. Funding and Resource Collaboration

Organizations interested in exploring joint funding applications, resource pooling, or shared infrastructure models may:

Provide a high-level overview of their current funding environment
Indicate any existing collaborative funding structures or consortia
Describe anticipated timelines for upcoming grant or contract cycles

Information to Include in Your Message

To support efficient routing and response, organizations are encouraged to include:

Organization name and type (e.g., shelter, legal aid, coalition, public agency, health system)
Primary contact person, title, and department or unit
Geographic scope (city, county, region, state, or multi-state)
Primary focus areas (e.g., housing, legal advocacy, policy, training, coordination)
Relevant networks or coalitions in which the organization already participates
A concise description of the inquiry and desired outcome (e.g., explore MOU, discuss data-sharing options, align reporting formats)

Including clear organizational details and a concise description of coordination goals can reduce follow-up and support a more efficient response, particularly for multi-stakeholder or cross-region initiatives.

Response and Follow-Up Practices

Responses may prioritize:

Multi-agency or regional coordination matters affecting multiple partners
Requests related to governance, standards, or shared protocols
Operational feedback that may improve collaboration features for multiple organizations

Follow-up may include:

Requests for additional documentation (e.g., existing MOUs, protocols, or coalition charters)
Referral to relevant working groups, consortiums, or regional bodies
Scheduling of a focused coordination or planning call with appropriate stakeholders

Scope and Limitations

This contact channel is not intended to:

Replace existing emergency communication pathways between agencies
Serve as a substitute for legal, clinical, or regulatory guidance
Provide direct services or case-specific intervention instructions

Agencies are expected to continue following their internal policies, contractual obligations, and applicable regulations when determining how to use coordination tools, share information, or adopt shared protocols.
