Hynes Receives $103,000 Grant from Sen. Golden
Targets At-Risk Youths, Domestic Violence Victims
Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes has received $103,000 in public protection funds from state Senator Martin J. Golden that will provide support to the District Attorney’s Office’s existing alternative-to-incarceration programs for at-risk youths and to victims of domestic violence cases pending in Brooklyn’s Domestic Violence Court.
“Brooklyn is the only county in New York State with two separate Integrated Domestic Violence Courts,” said Hynes. “Thanks to this generous grant, for the first time, we will have one dedicated social worker who will not only assist victims in the two courtrooms, but will also form the bridge connecting the court parts to the Brooklyn Family Justice Center.”
“I am proud to have secured more than $100,000 in public protection funds to support programs offered by Kings County District Attorney Charles Hynes,” Golden said. “I am confident that through his office, this funding will be used to create better opportunities for youth and family justice in Brooklyn.”
