| | | | | | | | Background:
The Victim Services Division (VSD) of the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has 32 advocates providing services to victims of crime. Demand for these services is great. Though the VSD has a bilingual, bicultural staff who serve underserved populations, community relationships are enhanced by two advocates who will focus on services to the African American community.
The grant requires a match of $53,970. | |
