Durham's Crisis Response Center has requested $250,000 from the city and county. The Crisis Response Center includes the Family Justice Center on N. Mangum Street.
Executive Director Damien Talley said this ask comes after years of federal funding slowly drying up. Talley said with more people moving to the area, the need is critical.
"Homicides are up," Talley said. "Gun laws are loosening across the country, so that's going to lead to more domestic violence homicides, and people need access to these services."
"With the spending cuts that we're seeing, that means that more lives are going to be lost," said Talley.
