As an established nonprofit organization headquartered in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, LUK Crisis Center demonstrates significant experience administering federally funded youth and family services and brings a robust portfolio of additional grants totaling over $3.5 million from the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Justice, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to support this award's implementation.
