No One Alone, or NOA, provides crisis itervention, legal advocacy, court accompaniment and case management to victims of crime in Dawson and Lumpkin counties.
It also helps them with shelter, food, clothing, referral services, follow-up care, child care, support groups, transportation and educational services.
Perdue said NOA is a "great example of a community's response to combating" domestic violence.
The award is part of the 2004 Victims of Crime Act Formula Grant Program.
The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council administers the program, which provides funds to benefit children's advocacy and rape crisis centers, and domestic violence shelters. The program also assists Court Appointed Special Advocate and victim witness assistance programs.
Dianne Williams, deputy director of the council, said that residents of Dawson and Lumpkin counties should be proud of the local shelter.
"The staff at NOA's Ark work tirelessly to assist innocent victims of crime," she said.
The federal government awards the grant to the council on behalf of the state for distribution to victim services providers statewide.
All recipients must provide services to victims of crime. In addition, the grant program requires a 20 percent match from each applicant.
