In an effort to sustain its programs and to improve the quality of services, the Family Crisis Center is seeking more grant funding.  The Agency has partnered with the Department of Social Services, Prince George's County Police Department and the State's Attorney's Office for a grant to better work with women over 50 who experience domestic and family violence.  This partnership will facility training of officers, prosecutor, judges, staff and other community partners in recognizing the signs of domestic violence in the elderly population.  It will also facility elderly victims through court companionship as well as before and after court support.
 
The Family Crisis Center has also partnered on a grant with Maryland Crime Victims' Resource Center, Inc.  This grant will help the Family Crisis Center provide better legal assistance to women experiencing domestic violence and addressing their issues in court. 
 
The House of Ruth partnering with the Family Crisis Center recently obtained a grant from the Abell Foundation in Baltimore.  This grant will enable the Family Crisis Center to provide more beds and services to women and children experiencing domestic violence.  Further details on this grant will be posted later this week.
