Renewal House Signs Agreement to Serve Victims of Sexual Assault

On April 13th, Renewal House signed an agreement with NYS Crime Victims Board to provide direct services to victims of sexual assault in St. Lawrence County. The board and staff of Renewal House have been working on the details of this agreement for several weeks. Final details include approval from the NYS Attorney General and NYS Comptroller. The goal of Renewal House is to ensure that victims currently receiving sexual assault services will not experience a lapse.  All parties project a May 1st effective start date.

The Board of Directors of Renewal House is pleased to announce this enhanced contract with the NYS Crime Victims Board.  Renewal House, since its inception in May of 1982, has provided victims of domestic violence with counseling, advocacy, and safe housing.  Renewal House is pleased to be given the opportunity to become the only agency in St. Lawrence County charged with providing caring, supportive and immediate assistance to both victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Renewal House Board of Directors would like to express their gratitude to those individuals who were instrumental in establishing and supporting CAVA over the course of their twenty-eight year history.
