This federal Project Grant award of $360,000 was provided by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs under the Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753) to Las Cumbres Community Services, Inc., a non-profit organization located in Española, New Mexico.
The grant will fund a two-year pilot project to provide transitional housing and wraparound support services for 125-150 newly-arrived immigrant and refugee families identified as survivors of torture. The project will house eligible families for 3-6 months in master-leased or partner-managed apartments while supporting them in obtaining work authorization, developing job skills, stabilizing urgent needs, accessing trauma-informed mental healthcare, and achieving self-sufficiency prior to transitioning to independent housing. This critical housing and service intervention aims to prevent homelessness for these vulnerable families, allowing them to focus on recovery, healing, and integration into their new community.
