Stacey Brown, District of Columbia Ward 6 resident, testifies before the Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety on the Access to Justice Grants

Stacey Brown, a Ward 6 resident and kinship caregiver, testified about the trauma her goddaughter endured and how DC KinCare Alliance provided urgent, compassionate legal advocacy to secure custody and ultimately finalize adoption. With support funded through Access to Justice and the Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants, her family was able to access trauma-informed services and long-term stability. Today, her goddaughter is thriving in college, and Stacey continues to advocate for kinship families across the District.
