The Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) under the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program (CFDA 16.589), provides $750,000 over 36 months to Missoula County, MT and its partners to enhance services for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in rural areas. Specific activities include: 1) placing a Rural Community Coordinator and Advocate in Mineral County; 2) funding a Rural Crime Victim Advocate in Missoula County; 3) providing legal assistance through Reis Law Group; 4) offering trauma-informed parenting classes for victims in Seeley Lake; 5) supporting emergency shelter through the YWCA Missoula; and 6) conducting prevention education efforts. The project aims to identify, assess, and respond to victims, while encouraging collaboration among law enforcement, victim service providers, prosecutors, and other key stakeholders to improve community-level approaches for addressing these issues in rural communities.
