"There's a deadline for a grant on [October] 16th, for just about a million dollars, through the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW)-that's one of the federal agencies that we work with-and we cannot submit that grant unless the government opens up. And with the furloughs that are happening, there's nobody to talk to about any of this."
