Cindy Kanusher, Esq.
Cindy Kanusher, Esq
., is the Executive Director of the
Pace Women’s Justice Center
(PWJC). Serving Westchester and Putnam Counties, PWJC’s mission is to pursue justice for victims and prevent abuse through quality legal services, community partnerships, education, and awareness.
With the support of a recent grant from
LaLoop
, PWJC has purchased Cruveo, a web-based application which allows PWJC staff to securely “virtually meet” with clients face-to-face. The Center also applied for a grant from the
Westchester Community Foundation’s Covid-19 Response Fund
, to purchase laptop computers and other equipment to enable PWJC attorneys to create home-based work stations. Funding from these organizations enabled PWJC to seamlessly transition their office model to connect to their clients remotely and ensure that victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and elder abuse could safely access PWJC services during the lockdown.
