The U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women has awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to Saint Anselm College under the Grants to Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on Campus Program (CFDA 16.525). This three-year continuation award, effective October 1, 2024, will enable Saint Anselm College, in collaboration with Reach Crisis Services and Goffstown Police Department, to continue meeting the statutory and programmatic requirements of the grant. Key objectives of the project include: 1) funding a victim advocate on campus, 2) establishing a restorative justice program to address gender-based violence, and 3) targeting resources and training to underserved student populations to ensure accessible processes and services. The grant supports Saint Anselm College's comprehensive efforts to enhance victim services, implement prevention and education programs, and develop security and investigation strategies to prevent, prosecute, and respond to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking on campus.
