CHLP Receives Federal Grant to Aid Victims of Domestic Violence
The U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women awarded CHLP $600,000 over a three year period to provide legal assistance to victims of domestic violence in four southern New Jersey counties. CHLP has partnered with the New Jersey Coalition to End Domestic Violence (NJCEDV) on this important initiative.
The goal of the project is to provide holistic legal services to victims of domestic violence with mental health issues and/or substance use disorders in Atlantic, Burlington, Cumberland, and Gloucester Counties. Dedicated CHLP attorneys, based out of CHLP’s Collingswood office, will provide representation in civil law matters such as family, housing, consumer and entitlements. Domestic violence victims will be referred through NJCEDV’s statewide domestic violence hotline at 800-572-SAFE (7233).
