The agency's executive director, Isak Griffiths, says despite the budget impasse, the services they provide to domestic violence victims have actually grown over the last 18 months.

Champaign-Urbana’s only domestic violence service provider will not receive about one-third of its $1.8 million budget because it was not included in the state’s stopgap budget.

While the larger issue of a state budget remains unsolved, two area social service agencies are among those that expect to see Illinois' share of its funding this month.  They include Champaign-based Courage Connection, which will soon see nearly all its $400,000 that was expected in July.
