STEPS Receives Funding to Address Domestic Violence

STEPS, INC. received a Congressional Directed Spending (CDS) award of $949,000 to open a center that will offer domestic violence and sexual assault services in Amelia, Buckingham, Cumberland Lunenburg, Nottoway, and Prince Edward counties. These areas have been without those services since a November 2022 domestic violence shelter closure.

Senator Tim Kaine and Senator Mark Warner were able to secure the CDS for STEPS, INC. Congratulations to the STEPS team for all of their hard work on this effort.
