This $356,317 Project Grant was awarded on February 1, 2025 by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women under the Financial Assistance to Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking program (CFDA 16.063). The grant funds will enable the Crisis Center For South Suburbia, a domestic shelter and non-profit organization, to provide flexible financial assistance to survivors of interpersonal violence. This assistance can be used to cover a range of survivor-identified needs, such as rent, utilities, transportation, children's needs, physical/mental health expenses, education costs, debt, and other expenses contributing to the survivor's long-term safety, well-being, independence, and financial stability. The grant will also support the organization's provision of transitional housing, rental assistance, counseling, legal aid, job training, and other victim services over the grant period through January 31, 2027.
