Grant funds can be used by MCASA for purposes such as coordinating services, collaborating with stakeholders, working with law enforcement and courts on appropriate responses, conducting public education, and monitoring sub-grant distributions. As a state-level coalition, MCASA utilizes this funding to advance a coordinated, comprehensive approach to preventing and responding to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking across Maine.
