FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Legal help for survivors of domestic violence in northern Colorado will shrink at the beginning of 2024 due to funding issues.
"So, it's really important to us to provide some long-term wraparound services to support survivors in whatever their journey looks like," Kempter said."For many domestic violence situations, if there are no other opportunities for what's next... people are forced to go back to their abusive partner. Because for them, the other option is homelessness."
"So many survivors are hearing from their abusive partner that, 'If you leave me, X, Y, and Z will happen.' And then they come to me and I say, 'No, X, Y, and Z won't happen,'" Dunn explained, saying the team's legal services have helped survivors keep custody of their children and move to safer places.
Kempter said she is still trying to learn from the DOJ why they were not selected to continue receiving the grant.
