Office on Violence Against Women

Description

The Expanding Legal Services Initiative intends to expand legal representation available to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking by funding organizations with a history of providing direct services to victims of these crimes, but that do not currently offer in-house legal representation for victims. The initial ELSI award includes a planning phase during which recipients engage in ongoing training and technical assistance to set up a legal department in the organization. Continuation funds support the direct legal services provided by the legal department established during the planning phase.
