Marietta, Ga. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is delivering new resources to strengthen support services for victims of violent crime.
Sen. Ossoff is delivering new funding to the Cobb County District Attorney’s office to help expand the county’s Family Advocacy Center (FAC) that serves victims of crime, including domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, and child abuse.
Sen. Ossoff brought Republicans and Democrats together to deliver $1,550,000 for the project through this year’s bipartisan government funding package, working alongside Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock
“Georgia faces domestic violence and child abuse crises. I’m bringing Republicans and Democrats together to help support victims of domestic and child abuse. I thank the Cobb Family Advocacy Center for bringing this proposal to my office and for their leadership in the community,” Sen. Ossoff said.
“This year’s theme for National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, April 21-27 is “How would you help? Options, services, and hope for crime survivors.” As District Attorney in the Cobb Judicial Circuit, I am thankful for the work of Senators Ossoff and Warnock on the bipartisan government funding package for delivering an answer to the citizens of Georgia. This empowers our Family Advocacy Center to deliver this call to action – to protect our most vulnerable victims, create safe environments, reduce childhood trauma, and provide resources that promote public safety for our community,” said Cobb County District Attorney Flynn D. Broady, Jr.
