Transitional housing program

The Montgomery Area Family Violence Program, Inc., doing business as Family Sunshine Center, was awarded a $450,000 Project Grant from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women. The grant period runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.

The funding supports the Transitional Housing Assistance for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking, or Sexual Assault program (CFDA #16.736) to provide transitional housing assistance and related support services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness or needing housing assistance due to domestic violence. Specifically, the Family Sunshine Center will use the grant funds to deliver transitional housing and support services to minors, adults, and dependents who require these services as a direct result of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault situations. The services aim to help this vulnerable population stabilize their housing and living situations during recovery from abuse.
