The Montana Legal Services Association (MLSA) received a $500,000 Project Grant from the Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) under the Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants program (CFDA 16.582), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028. The Rural Crime Victim Project will deliver direct civil legal services and navigation assistance to crime victims throughout Montana, with particular focus on underserved rural communities. Core services include civil legal representation addressing custody matters, restraining orders, housing disputes, and asset recovery; victim safety planning and case management; and assistance in holding offenders accountable and facilitating victim recovery following crimes. The project addresses a significant service capacity gap in rural Montana by expanding access to legal advocacy for crime victims who otherwise lack adequate resources to assert and protect their legal rights. Through this three-year funding period, MLSA will work to empower vulnerable populations across the state—prioritizing rural American citizens—to navigate the legal system and achieve recovery in the aftermath of criminal victimization. The award reflects OVC's broader mandate to develop, expand, and strengthen victim service programs nationwide, with recent comparable awards typically clustering around the $500,000 mark for direct service projects.Federal Grant Award Summary
