From the Executive Summary of the Funding Formula Review and Recommendation:

The Domestic Violence Advisory Committee (DVAC) of the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) expressed interest in developing a framework of best practices for shelter funding. In Spring 2011, Cal EMA contracted with the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence (The Partnership) to convene a regionally representative group of state-funded shelter-based agencies and facilitate a Domestic Violence Funding Formula Work Group (FFWG). The FFWG was comprised of regional representatives selected to discuss a set of principles for addressing the approximate level of funding needed to meet core requirements and meaningful accountability standards. [This document] is a summary of that process and subsequent recommendations.
