The Bridge has also received numerous sub-awards from the Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services and Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice to provide direct services to victims per the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, Nebraska Protection from Domestic Abuse Act, and support allowable expenses under the American Rescue Plan Act. These sub-grants enable The Bridge to offer counseling, advocacy, housing aid, basic needs assistance, outreach, and other services conforming to federal guidelines for aiding domestic violence, sexual assault, and crime victims.
