(KAIR)--More funds are secured for two Leavenworth-based organizations that provide assistance to both the abused and children in need of legal advocacy.

That word is delivered in a release from the office of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, which says that “more than $22 million will help groups including law enforcement organizations and sexual assault crisis center that support crime victims and survivors.”

Receiving more than $177,000 is the Alliance Against Family Violence, a domestic abuse support organization that provides its services to Atchison.

An additional $227,000 is earmarked for use by the First Judicial CASA Association, with the First District comprised of both Leavenworth and Atchison counties.

The release notes that 65 Kansas agencies were awarded grant funds.

The money is provided by the federal Victims of Crime Act Victim Assistance grant program.
