The Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence’s (OPDV) current-year state operating funds savings target is $218,000, reflecting the Governor’s order for a 10.35 percent reduction in projected agency spending. OPDV has already identified actions which achieve $160,000 in savings, and is currently working to achieve the remainder by working in partnership with the Division of Criminal Justice Services. The full savings are expected to be realized.

OPDV is already in the process of implementing the following actions to achieve their savings target, including:

Implementing a vacancy control policy for one position (savings of $45,000).
Reduce non-personal service expenditures, including limited travel, decreased spending on office equipment, supplies and postage (savings of $70,000).
