Turning Point - otherwise known as SAN - was among others to receive funding from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) to support victims of domestic violence.
“The victims of these crimes are especially vulnerable and require compassionate assistance. In addition, all those involved in bringing perpetrators to justice should be thoroughly trained on handling these cases,” said Gov. Ivey in an announcement. “I am pleased to award these funds supporting the groups and individuals working on behalf of the people impacted by these crimes.”
Turning point was given $29,110 to provide a 24-hour crisis line, emergency shelter, counseling, legal information and other services communities in Bibb, Fayette, Greene, Hale, Lamar, Marengo, Pickens, Sumter and Tuscaloosa counties.
“The programs funded by these grants offer a wide variety of essential services,” ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell said. “ADECA joins Gov. Ivey in support of those dedicated to helping victims every step of the way.”
