Comcast Business is set to provide Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County (DVS) with Ethernet Dedicated Internet (EDI) and Voice Mobility Solutions, ensuring reliable 24/7 connectivity for the organization. This partnership aims to bolster DVS's operations and enable them to maintain a continuous line of support for victims of domestic violence.
Founded in 1976, DVS operates a 52-bed confidential emergency shelter, offering critical services to victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) regardless of their demographic background. As the only program of its kind in Snohomish County, WA, DVS's mission includes providing both emergency shelter and increasing community awareness to eliminate domestic violence.
Lauren Stiger, Development and Volunteer Manager at DVS, emphasized the importance of reliable connectivity, 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."
DVS relies heavily on its phone system for safe communication with survivors, making Comcast Business Voice Mobility Solutions indispensable. The crisis hotline must be accessible round-the-clock to provide the necessary support. In addition, the high bandwidth capabilities of Comcast Business EDI support DVS's growing individual and community awareness programs, including webinars and virtual meetings, which are essential for educating the public and spreading awareness about domestic violence.
Rob Brenner, Vice President of Comcast Business for Comcast’s Pacific Northwest Region, remarked, "Reliable connectivity is critical to the day-to-day operations of organizations like DVS that are building healthier, happier communities by caring for individuals and families in need."
This collaboration highlights the critical role of technology in supporting social services and the broader community. By ensuring that DVS has the technological infrastructure necessary to operate efficiently, Comcast Business is helping to create a safer environment for those affected by domestic violence.
