SAVA services cover most of San Diego County, spanning a territory nearly the size of the state of Connecticut. SAVA provides an in-person emergency response to every sexual assault victim in its service area who undergoes a sexual assault forensic examination. CCS volunteers and staff are scheduled around-the-clock to respond within 30 minutes of a call-out, and they remain by a victims side throughout the entire forensic examination process. SAVA is staffed by five full-time victim advocates and a program manager who provide follow-up services after the emergency response. Additionally, the SAVA team includes one full-time advocate who is out-stationed at the San Diego State University Health Center to provide sexual assault victim advocacy on campus.
