Washington, DC – Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson today announced that Mosaic Family Services of Dallas, TX, will receive a $90,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program.  Mosaic Family Services serves refugees and immigrants who have been victims of human trafficking and domestic violence in North Texas, at no cost.

“Since 1993, Mosaic Family Services has helped refugees and immigrants in North Texas who are in crisis or in danger,” Congresswoman Johnson said.  “Their clients are often people who are low-income and limited in English proficiency, and who have nowhere else to turn.  I commend the important work they do, and I know they will use this grant to provide culturally-sensitive support to members of our community who truly need it.”

The Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program funds civil and criminal legal assistance programs for adult and youth victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
