As a young attorney in Chicago, she found that Illinois was eligible for more funds under Title XX. She contacted women in the region who were interested in expanding services for women experiencing domestic violence. From one initial meeting, conducted by Hamos, a series of "weekend gatherings" began. In attendance were the directors of the nine agencies that formed ICADV.[4] ICADV was formally founded in September 1978. In October, the group received commendation from Illinois Governor James R. Thompson, and Thompson pushed for the funding for domestic violence services in Illinois.[4]From its beginning in 1978, ICADV and its member programs committed to the following goals:
ICADV continued to grow throughout the 1980s, expanding its membership and services. In the first five years alone, ICADV grew to include forty-four member organizations. Florence Forshey, a founder, called ICADV "the oldest and one of the largest organizations in the US dedicated to eliminating domestic violence".[4] In 1985, ICADV and its sister organization, the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault, worked together to advocate for the passage of the Illinois Sexual Assault Act in 1985, which broadened the definition of sexual assault, made it gender neutral, and imposed harsher punishments for offenders.[5] OperationToday, the coalition continues to operate via a network of shelters, counseling programs, and community agencies. ICADV is governed by a board of directors, and membership includes over fifty organizations.[6] The central administrative office in Springfield, Illinois oversees the services provided by its local member agencies. ICADV publishes a newsletter, For Better Times, detailing current actions, new services for victims and survivors of domestic violence, and other issues of interest to the newsletter's audience of social service professionals and corporate supporters throughout the state.[5] Florence Forshey, a founder of ICADV was instrumental in placing the organization's papers and media with DePaul University's Special Collections and Archives, held in the collection Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence Records.
