The U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women has awarded a $400,000 Legal Assistance for Victims (LAV) Grant (CFDA 16.524) to the YWCA of Eastern Union County, Inc. The purpose of this 2-year Project Grant is to enable the YWCA to establish a comprehensive legal services program that provides full and limited scope legal representation for victims of domestic violence in Union County, New Jersey. The legal assistance will cover matters such as restraining orders, child support, child custody, and immigration cases. This initiative aims to increase the availability of civil and criminal legal aid to effectively support victims aged 11 and older who have experienced domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The grant will fund the YWCA's efforts to plan and implement these new legal services to promote victim safety, privacy, and economic independence.
