The U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women has awarded a $600,000 Legal Assistance for Victims (CFDA 16.524) grant to Enlace Comunitario, a non-profit organization in Central New Mexico. This 3-year project grant, effective from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026, will enable Enlace Comunitario, in partnership with the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center, to provide holistic, culturally-specific legal representation and other comprehensive services to Spanish-speaking immigrant victims of domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Key services to be delivered include legal assistance for matters such as protection orders, divorce, child custody/support, housing, public benefits, consumer protection, and immigration. The project will also offer transitional housing, counseling, education, and other wraparound support to address the needs of this underserved population. By collaborating with justice system stakeholders and conducting community outreach, the project aims to improve access to culturally and linguistically appropriate legal aid and victim services across Bernalillo, Valencia, and Sandoval counties.
