Domestic Violence Project
The project assists domestic violence victims, children and elders needing injunctions for protection against domestic violence. Referral can take place through Refuge House, law enforcement, and any social agency or through walk-in. Through funding from the Victim of Crimes Act (VOCA) and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), additional support is available in personal advocacy and victim's compensation.
