Bethany House awarded $35K in VAWA funding From Morgan Hall Frankfort, KY - On Thursday, November 20, 2025, during the Team Kentucky Update, Gov. Andy Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear awarded $2,110,702 in federal grant funding through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to 29 agencies and organizations across Kentucky to help prevent sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking in the commonwealth. Among the recipients is Bethany House, which has been awarded $35,506 for a court advocate. Bethany House is the designated domestic violence shelter that serves the 10 counties in the Lake Cumberland Area Development District, which includes Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Russell, and Taylor. "Too many Kentuckians have faced the trauma of being a victim of domestic violence in Kentucky, which is why it's been my mission since my time as attorney general to make sure fewer families know that pain," Gov. Beshear said. "This grant funding is vital to providing services and seeking justice, and I am proud to work with the organizations who are providing support directly to victims and their families." The federal VAWA Services, Training, Officers, Prosecution (STOP) Formula Grant Program requires administrating state agencies to allocate grant funding for law enforcement, prosecutors, victim service organizations, and state and local courts. It also allows for a smaller number of discretionary awards and encourages a focus on projects that serve victims of intimate partner violence. Gov. Beshear recognized recipients of this year's funding, including:
