Congressman Smith Announces Grant For Anti-Domestic Violence Program
Congressman Chris Smith announced today that the New Jersey Coalition For Battered Women has been awarded a $82,882 grant by the U.S. Justice Department.
Smith authored the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act, the legislation that first authorized the federal program funding this grant.
“The New Jersey Coalition for Battered Women is a valuable resource for women and children across our state who have been victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault and violence,” said Smith. “The NJCBW’s mission is to end violence against women and its work is critical to ensuring women and their families have the resources necessary—and readily available—to break the cycle of domestic violence.”
