As a child entity within the New York State government structure, the Justice Center serves as the designated state agency for administering federal assistive technology programs and victim services initiatives across the state. The organization functions as a prime federal grant awardee, delivering comprehensive statewide services focused on improving accessibility and support for vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with disabilities and crime victims.

The Justice Center has demonstrated sustained federal grant funding activity through multiple awards from the Administration for Community Living's Center for Integrated Programs, receiving consecutive annual formula grants under the AT Act State Grants program (CFDA 93.464) from fiscal years 2022 through 2026. The FY2026 award of $291,862 exemplifies the organization's core work, funding initiatives to enhance assistive technology financing, provide device demonstrations, deliver technology-related training and education, and develop resources that increase independence for people with disabilities. Beyond its primary AT Act grants, the Justice Center received a block grant in 2022 titled "Expanding the Public Health Workforce Within the Disability Network," which expanded its capacity to build workforce competencies within the disability services sector. Additionally, the organization has served as a pass-through entity for victim assistance programming, with the New York State Office of Victim Services receiving sub-grant awards in fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024 under the Victim Assistance Program. This multi-faceted grant portfolio demonstrates the Justice Center's role in administering both assistive technology infrastructure and victim services support across New York State, addressing critical needs for individuals with disabilities and crime victims through federally funded programming.
