Jewish community connections: a holistic approach to abuse prevention and intervention

The Greater Washington Jewish Coalition Against Domestic Abuse Inc. was awarded a $445,337 Project Grant from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women. The grant falls under the Grants for Outreach and Services to Underserved Populations program (CFDA 16.889), which aims to develop and implement outreach strategies and provide victim services to underserved populations affected by domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

Through this three-year award beginning October 1, 2021, the Coalition will deliver a holistic approach to abuse prevention and intervention services for the Jewish community in Rockville, Maryland. This likely involves outreach and education programs to raise awareness as well as direct victim services to meet the needs of those experiencing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. The funding will support the Coalition's efforts to address the needs of this underserved population through culturally competent and trauma-informed care.
