The Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women awarded a $600,000 Legal Assistance for Victims (LAV) Grant Program (CFDA 16.524) to Program For Aid To Victims Of Sexual Assault, Inc. (Pavsa), a non-profit organization based in Duluth, Minnesota. This 2-year continuation grant, spanning October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, will enable Pavsa to provide comprehensive civil and criminal legal assistance to survivors of sexual violence in St. Louis County, Minnesota. Key services include legal advocacy, representation in family law, immigration, employment, housing, and criminal justice matters, as well as support through alternative dispute resolution and post-conviction relief proceedings. The funding supports Pavsa's efforts to strengthen prevention and response to sexual assault, including developing outreach materials and reviewing policies to incorporate best practices. This grant builds on Pavsa's prior LAV award and its work to enhance victim safety, privacy, and economic independence through trauma-informed, collaborative approaches.
