Meeting the Basic Needs of Underserved LGBTQ+ Crime Victims

The purpose of this grant program is to provide culturally responsive services to crime victims and survivors from communities that have been historically underserved; marginalized; adversely affected by inequality; and disproportionately impacted by crime, violence, and victimization. With this funding, LESBIAN & GAY COMMUNITY SERVICES CENTER, INC., will serve members of New York City’s LGBTQ+ community who are survivors of violence. The project will provide wraparound, trauma-informed, victim-centered, and culturally responsive services including transportation, food, clothing, health education, mental health services, crisis intervention, and legal services.
