The U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women awarded a $750,000 Legal Assistance for Victims (LAV) Grant Program award to Cora Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse (C O R A), a non-profit organization in San Mateo, California. The 3-year grant, which began on October 1, 2023, will enable C O R A to provide comprehensive civil and criminal legal services to adult and youth victims of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual assault in San Mateo County. The legal services will focus on matters such as family law, immigration, housing, employment, and protection orders. C O R A will deliver attorney representation, legal advocacy, and a legal information helpline to assist underserved populations, including those with low-to-no income, lack of immigration status, limited English proficiency, racial/ethnic minorities, older adults, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
