The organization specializes in providing victim-centered services and support to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, with a particular focus on serving Latinx immigrant communities and other underserved populations. Through its federal grant awards, L.U.N.A. delivers comprehensive, culturally specific and linguistically tailored assistance designed to address the unique barriers and needs faced by the communities it serves.

The organization operates the "Mi Hogar Program," a transitional housing initiative funded by a $500,000 Transitional Housing Assistance Grant (CFDA 16.736) awarded in October 2025, which provides scattered-site housing and comprehensive support services to up to ten survivors and their families for 6 to 24 months, including rental and utility assistance, case management, safety planning, career counseling, job training, and legal aid. Additionally, L.U.N.A. received a $400,000 Legal Assistance for Victims (LAV) Grant (CFDA 16.524) in October 2024 through the Expanding Legal Services Initiative to establish a comprehensive legal services program providing direct representation and advocacy in family law, immigration, housing, protection orders, employment, and criminal justice matters for Latinx immigrant survivors throughout Iowa. The organization also operates a $475,000 Culturally and Linguistically Specific Services Program (CFDA 16.016) awarded in October 2024, which implements culturally relevant services for Latino survivors in Polk and Marshall Counties, including youth support groups, prevention curricula, and educational outreach. L.U.N.A. further received a prior $475,000 award under the same program in October 2022. Beyond its prime awards, L.U.N.A. has been a consistent sub-grantee of the Iowa State Department of Justice since 2021, receiving multiple sub-awards to provide culturally specific domestic and sexual assault services to Latina/o populations, including information and referral, crisis counseling, group counseling, personal advocacy, and civil and criminal justice advocacy, as well as American Rescue Plan funding to serve domestic violence and sexual assault victims throughout Iowa.
