The U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women awarded a $750,000 Legal Assistance for Victims (LAV) Grant to Community Legal Aid Inc. (CLA) to provide comprehensive civil and criminal legal services to adult and youth victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in central and western Massachusetts. The LAV Grant Program, authorized under 34 U.S.C. 20121, aims to increase access to legal assistance for these victims on matters such as protection orders, family law, immigration, housing, employment, and public benefits. Through this 3-year project, CLA is partnering with local organizations including Elizabeth Freeman Center, Pathways for Change, the New England Learning Center for Women in Transition, and Safe Passage to deliver the legal services. The project will also develop and distribute a reference card for outreach and referrals. Federal sub-awards have been provided to these partner organizations to support their participation in delivering the comprehensive legal assistance to victims.
