The funding, awarded through the Legal Assistance for Victims program, will help Mosaic continue its work providing free legal help to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.\n\n\u201cThis grant is going to make a real difference for survivors here in North Texas,\u201d said Congresswoman Johnson. \u201cWhen someone is trying to escape abuse, the legal system can feel impossible to navigate alone. Whether it\u2019s fighting for custody, securing a protective order, or keeping a roof over their head, as an attorney, I know that having an advocate in their corner makes all the difference. Mosaic has been doing that work for years, and this new funding means they\u2019ll be able to reach even more families and survivors who are in need of support.\u201d\n\nThe program is designed to make sure survivors do not have to face the legal system alone. That can mean support with custody battles, eviction notices, immigration paperwork, or simply getting a protective order in place. With this new funding, Mosaic will be able to advocate for even more survivors in North Texas during some of the most challenging moments of their lives.\n\n\u201cMosaic has earned the trust of our community because they show up for people when it matters most,\u201d Johnson added. \u201cThis grant recognizes that and ensures their work will continue.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis award holds significant meaning for us,\u201d stated Mirjana Omeragic, Acting Executive Director. \u201cThe legal services we provide to survivors play a pivotal role in restoring their safety and ensuring justice. We witness the profound impact of our legal program on a daily basis, from assisting with crucial legal paperwork to representing them in court and guiding them to make informed decisions. Mosaic Family Services is deeply appreciative of the recognition from the Department of Justice.\u201d\n\nThe three-year award builds on prior DOJ support for Mosaic Family Services and will allow them to continue providing life-saving legal advocacy to survivors across North Texas.\n\nCongresswoman Julie Johnson represents Texas\u2019s 32nd Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives, serving on the Homeland Security Committee, Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Administration Committee.
