This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women under the Legal Assistance for Victims (LAV) Grant Program (CFDA 16.524), will enable Lone Star Legal Aid, a non-profit organization in Houston, Texas, to deliver $750,000 in comprehensive civil and criminal legal services to victims (ages 11 and older) of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in a 10-county region of eastern Texas. The funding will support direct legal representation, advocacy, and assistance for victims in matters related to or arising from the abuse or violence, including family law, immigration, housing, employment, protection orders, and criminal justice proceedings. Lone Star Legal Aid will partner with several community organizations, including Montgomery County Women's Center, Family Services of Southeast Texas, and Texas Familias Council, to enhance service delivery and address the priority area of advancing equity and tribal sovereignty. This award is a continuation of the organization's previous legal assistance project and will span the period from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2027.
