This $200,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime (CFDA 16.582 - Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants program) will enable Justice For Our Neighbors-Nebraska, doing business as Cira, to provide culturally responsive services to immigrant crime victims and survivors from historically underserved communities in Nebraska. The target population includes rural and urban undocumented immigrant individuals and families who have experienced violence, domestic abuse, and trafficking. The funding will support the delivery of comprehensive legal and social services to help this vulnerable population navigate complex challenges and access critical assistance. Additionally, the organization has a $397,540 grant from the Department of Homeland Security's Citizenship Education and Training Program and multiple sub-grants from the Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services to provide a range of services for immigrants, refugees, and asylees, demonstrating its expertise in supporting the integration and wellbeing of these communities.

The purpose of this grant program is to provide culturally responsive services to crime victims and survivors from communities that have been historically underserved; marginalized; adversely affected by inequality; and disproportionately impacted by crime, violence, and victimization. With this funding, justice for our neighbors will serve immigrants who are victims of violent crimes in nebraska. The target population is rural and urban undocumented immigrant individuals and families who have experience violence, domestic abuse, and trafficking.
