This 3-year award, beginning on October 1, 2024, will provide comprehensive civil and criminal legal assistance to survivors of domestic violence in New York City. The project aims to advance equity and address the legal needs of low-income people of color and individuals with limited English proficiency who have experienced domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Services will include legal representation, advocacy, and support in matters related to family law, immigration, housing, protection orders, employment, and criminal justice proceedings.
