SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 678 appropriates $75,000 from the general fund to the Department of Finance and
Administration (DFA) to contract for rape crisis services in Santa Fe County
Significant Issues
The appropriation does not indicate which contractor will receive the funding. In the past three
years, DFA has awarded funding to the Santa Fe Rape Crisis Center, which offers a hotline and
hospital response that are staffed by trained volunteers. The Center served 536 clients last year.
The Center’s programs are collaborative, working with legal, law enforcement and social ser-
vices as well as almost every single human service agency in the community. Because of its
wide range of services, the Center is continually seeking additional funding. Pursuant to the pur-
chasing code, DFA will follow a request for proposal process to choose the final contractor.
