The grants to support families in the justice system program (referred to as the justice for families program) was authorized in the violence against women reauthorization act of 2013 to improve the response of the civil and criminal justice system to families with a history of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, or in cases involving allegations of child sexual abuse. The program supports the following activities for improving the capacity of courts and communities to respond to families affected by the targeted crimes: court-based and court-related programs; supervised visitation and safe exchange by and between parents; training for people who work with families in the court system; civil legal services; and the provision of resources in juvenile court matters. Projects supported by the justice for families program are those that focus on keeping victims and their children safe from further abuse and holding offenders accountable. Through this new justice for families project, renacer social corp, in partnership with the office of courts administration, cidra town hall, and the office of the representative, will provide 300 families with supervised visitation services; deliver 8-12 annual trainings focusing on topics such as the dynamics of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking; and conduct education and outreach to increase public awareness and accessibility of domestic violence court resources in all 78 municipalities in puerto rico.
