The U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women awarded a $450,000 Culturally and Linguistically Specific Services Program (CFDA 16.016) project grant to Hope House Day Care Center, Inc. The grant will fund a 3-year project to provide culturally specific services and resources for African American/Black victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking crimes in the Greater Memphis, Tennessee area. Key services to be delivered include individual counseling, support groups, emergency financial/housing assistance, legal advocacy, crisis intervention, safety planning, transportation, and referrals. The project will tailor these services to meet the needs of a large population of people of color and LGBTQIA+ individuals to create a holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive program. The project addresses statutory purpose areas such as increasing community capacity, developing culturally specific education and prevention strategies, and examining the dynamics of culture and its impact on victimization and healing.
