Comcast Business Provides Critical Connectivity for Domestic Violence Services in Snohomish County

Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County (DVS), a non-profit organization providing emergency shelter and comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence, has partnered with Comcast Business to enhance its technological infrastructure. This collaboration aims to support DVS's mission of providing round-the-clock assistance to survivors and expanding its community awareness programs.

Comcast Business is supplying DVS with Ethernet Dedicated Internet (EDI) and Voice Mobility Solutions, which are crucial for maintaining the organization's 24/7 crisis hotline and supporting its growing operations. The reliability and speed of these services are essential for DVS to effectively serve survivors of domestic abuse, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Lauren Stiger, Development and Volunteer Manager of DVS, emphasized the importance of this technology, stating, "It is crucial for our organization to be connected to survivors in need 24/7. To do so, we depend on a reliable, fast internet connection and phone service, which Comcast Business has been able to seamlessly provide."

Founded in 1976, DVS operates a 52-bed confidential emergency shelter for those facing imminent danger from intimate partner violence. As the only program in Snohomish County offering such services, DVS plays a vital role in supporting victims of domestic abuse. The organization's commitment to fostering a safe, judgment-free environment for healing and growth necessitates robust technological support.

The Comcast Business Voice Mobility Solutions are particularly critical for DVS's crisis hotline, which must be available at all times. This phone system serves as the primary means of communication for survivors, as online contact methods may not always be safe options.

Additionally, the Comcast Business EDI service provides the necessary bandwidth to support DVS's expanding individual and community awareness programs. These initiatives, aimed at preventing domestic violence, include local events, school visits, online webinars, and virtual meetings. The reliable connectivity enables DVS to effectively reach out to the community and educate about healthy relationships.

Rob Brenner, Vice President of Comcast Business for the Pacific Northwest Region, expressed pride in supporting DVS's mission, stating, "Comcast Business is proud to provide quality solutions for quality organizations that share our vision of bettering our community."

This partnership between Comcast Business and DVS illustrates the critical role that reliable technology plays in supporting non-profit organizations dedicated to social causes. By ensuring consistent connectivity and communication capabilities, Comcast Business is helping DVS to maintain its vital services and expand its reach in the community.

The collaboration underscores the importance of technological infrastructure in the non-profit sector, particularly for organizations dealing with sensitive and urgent matters like domestic violence. As DVS continues to grow and adapt its services, the robust technological backbone provided by Comcast Business will be instrumental in supporting its efforts to create a safer community and provide crucial assistance to those in need.
