Our Legal Advocacy Program Manager, LMR, joined Patti from HONOR on WTBQ radio to highlight the importance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Together, we discussed the impact of domestic violence on our community, shared resources available for survivors, and spoke about our many partnerships with HONOR—including Housing First, Safe Harbor (Anti-Trafficking Initiative), and Rapid Rehousing.

The Clothesline Project will be on display at the following locations in October:
Friday, October 4th: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Orange County Government Center, 255 Main Street, Goshen.
Wednesday, October 9th: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Cornerstone Healthcare, 147 Lake Street, Newburgh.

Wednesday, October 16th: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park, 1 North Broome Street, Port Jervis.

The information shared by the panelists provided the PWSC members in attendance with the awareness of existing accountability systems, support services, as well as areas of need. Questions asked of the panelists covered a wide range of issues, such as the origin of complaints, legal jurisdiction, referrals to Family Court, referrals to Fearless for time-limited safe housing and a myriad of support services and follow-up services by the SC Department of Social Services.
