PHOENIX (AZFamily)<\/b> \u2014 A Valley woman who says her life depends on staying hidden now worries the state may no longer be able to keep her safe.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s a domestic violence survivor, and for more than a decade, a state program has helped keep her abuser from finding her.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s going by Tina because she doesn\u2019t know what could happen if her former abuser finds her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been safe for many years, but I haven\u2019t forgotten how dangerous this person can be,\u201d Tina said.<\/p>\n

More than a decade ago, she joined the state\u2019s Address Confidentiality Program.<\/p>\n

Without it, her address could be exposed by things like voter registration, the DMV or court records.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have somebody actively looking for you that intends to harm you, it alleviates one huge gap,\u201d Tina said.<\/p>\n

Now she fears the protection she\u2019s relied on for years could all go away.<\/p>\n

Program funding missing from budget proposals<\/h2>\n

\u201cWe know harm can\u2019t be committed if survivors can\u2019t be found,\u201d said Jenna Panas, CEO of the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence.<\/p>\n

Right now, Panas said the $400,000 needed to fund the Address Confidentiality Program is not included in either the governor\u2019s or the Legislature\u2019s proposed budgets. That means it\u2019s at risk of being cut completely or at least dramatically.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are considering things like putting survivors on a wait list where they might not be able to access services, limiting services to survivors, so no new services,\u201d Panas said.<\/p>\n

She said the Address Confidentiality Program grows by about 20% each year. Right now, 3,000 people are actively enrolled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been thinking about it nonstop,\u201d Tina said.<\/p>\n

Tina said she\u2019s wondering if Arizona will remain a safe place for her family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to think in the back of my mind, if I need to leave, where do I go? Where do I go now?\u201d Tina said.<\/p>\n

Panas said there is still hope. Budgets aren\u2019t finalized, and she plans to continue advocating to get this money included until she can\u2019t anymore.<\/p>\n
