The Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation faces severe funding cuts, threatening their vital programs addressing housing insecurity and domestic abuse. One million dollars each from federal eviction prevention and domestic violence programs have been discontinued. The organizations domestic abuse services, including a customized van for safe consultations, are now at risk. A three-year grant for their Victims of Violence program was rejected, along with other program funding applications. The AVLF, historically relying on federal funding, now seeks alternative sources as private contributions may not fully compensate for the loss.
