Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Incorporated

Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Incorporated (LCADV) is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2006, serving as the state's leading voice against domestic violence in Louisiana. As a corporate entity with tax-exempt status, LCADV primarily receives federal grant awards focused on supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. The organization operates as a statewide coalition dedicated to providing comprehensive services to victims, working to prevent domestic violence and support survivors through multiple strategic initiatives.

LCADV has received substantial federal grant awards from agencies including the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office on Violence Against Women, and Administration on Children Youth and Families. These grants, totaling millions of dollars annually, support critical programs such as operating a statewide domestic violence hotline, providing legal assistance and representation, delivering housing and shelter resources, conducting public awareness and prevention efforts, and offering training and advocacy services. The organization frequently collaborates with state agencies like the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice and the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services through sub-grant partnerships. Key grant programs include the Continuum of Care Program, Legal Assistance for Victims Grant, and State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program, which enable LCADV to provide comprehensive support to domestic violence survivors across Louisiana, including civil legal aid, criminal justice advocacy, housing assistance, and coordinated entry services for homeless individuals experiencing domestic violence.
