The nonprofit Coffee County Drug Court Foundation will receive $549,500 from the Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) to support its Safe Families Project, announced Acting United States Attorney Francis M. Hamilton III.
Coffee County’s Safe Families Project will bring together local stakeholders, including the public defender’s office, sheriff’s office, police departments, probation office, batterer intervention providers, and substance abuse prevention providers, in a three-year program that will serve at least 60 families in Coffee County’s Family Treatment Court who will simultaneously be working to overcome the impact of domestic violence, addiction, and custody challenges.
