Lincoln County Coalition Against Domestic Violence

Lincoln County Coalition Against Domestic Violence, doing business as Amys House Against Domestic Abuse, is a non-profit organization located in Lincolnton, North Carolina, dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Registered in SAM.gov since February 2013, the organization is a tax-exempt corporate entity specializing in providing domestic shelter services. While the organization does not hold any federal contract vehicles, it has been successful in receiving federal grant awards, particularly in the domain of transitional housing and support services for domestic violence survivors.

The organization has received significant federal grant awards, most notably a $500,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women for the Transitional Housing Assistance Grants program. This three-year grant, effective from October 2024 to September 2027, will enable LCCADV to provide comprehensive support services for up to 24 survivors and their families. The grant will fund communal transitional housing, case management, career counseling, trauma-informed counseling, job training, childcare, transportation, and assistance in securing permanent housing. Additionally, LCCADV has received sub-grants from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, focusing on offering shelter, crisis intervention, and holistic domestic violence-related services. The organization collaborates with HealthNet Gaston to deliver a multidisciplinary, victim-centered approach to addressing the housing and support needs of domestic violence survivors in the rural Lincolnton region, with services tailored to expand economic justice and provide comprehensive support for up to 24 months.
