Federal Grant Award Summary

The Community Violence Intervention Center Inc. (CVIC) received a $700,000 continuation grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, from the U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women under the Justice Systems Response to Families Program (CFDA 16.021). This three-year project grant supports CVIC's comprehensive response to families affected by domestic violence in Grand Forks County, North Dakota, through a coordinated partnership with the Northeast Central Judicial District, North Dakota Supreme Court, North Dakota Parole and Probation, local law enforcement, county human services, and workforce development agencies.

Under this award, CVIC will deliver three primary service components: 6,000 hours of supervised visitation and safe exchange services for parents and children; support services to the domestic violence court aimed at holding offenders accountable; and direct civil legal assistance to domestic violence victims. These integrated services are designed to enhance the justice system's capacity to keep victims and their children safe while ensuring offender accountability. The grant represents a continuation of prior funding (15JOVW-22-GG-00240-JFFX) and reflects the program's focus on court-based interventions and victim-centered support for families experiencing intimate partner violence.
