## What this funds

The FVPSA mandates support to Native American tribes (including Native Villages) and tribal organizations through an allocation of not less than 10 percent of the funding, to be used for immediate shelter and supportive services for survivors of family violence, domestic violence, or dating violence and their dependents. Each federally recognized tribe receives an allocation of the total FVPSA funds available based on a formula incorporating its population. SDVC grants address family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence intervention and prevention. SDVCs serve as information clearinghouses and coordinate statewide programs, outreach, and activities. They provide training and technical assistance to local programs (most of which are funded through sub-grants from FVPSA state and territory formula grants) on appropriate and comprehensive responses, including the development and implementation of best practices. The grants to SDVCs also support related collaborative efforts with social services sectors such as housing, health, education, criminal justice, and child welfare. The statutorily mandated network of information and technical assistance centers requires a National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, a National Indian Resource Center Addressing Domestic Violence and Safety for Indian Women, and at least seven Special Issue Resource Centers. The statute also allows the funding of State Resource Centers to reduce disparities in states with high proportions of Indian, Alaskan Native, or Native Hawaiian populations and to support training and technical assistance that addresses emerging issues. Funding for the first of these State Resource Centers was provided in FY 2017 to respond to the unique needs of Alaska Native tribes. The support network provides resource information and training and technical assistance to improve the capacity of individuals, organizations, governmental entities, and communities to prevent family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence and to provide effective intervention services. In FY 2025, $1 million was awarded to support a third year of implementation for a center for Native Hawaiian survivors. ACFC continued technical assistance for supportive services for Native Hawaiian domestic violence, dating violence, and family violence survivors with the launch of a Native Hawaiian Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NHRCDV) to provide culturally responsive training and technical assistance. In FY 2025, the NHRCDV staff responded to 112 technical assistance requests from local, state, and national service providers, provided over 75 trainings, and increased the number of individuals trained by over 525 percent from the previous year. For any fiscal year for which the FVPSA appropriation exceeds $130 million, the FVPSA statute provides for a 25 percent set-aside of the amount in excess of that threshold for SSAPC grants. Since FY 2016, ACFC has funded three cohorts of SSAPC grants with four-year project periods. In FY 2024, ACFC funded the first year of the third cohort, which includes 55 demonstration projects for the expanded capacity of child and family-serving systems and community-based programs in 26 states and communities to prevent future violence by addressing the needs of children exposed to family violence, The statute also provides flexibility to use funds not otherwise allocated by statutory formula for competitive grants or contracts to support demonstration initiatives, provide technical assistance, or Administration for Children, Families, and Communities Page 102 coordinate or provide for research and evaluation on effective practices. Under this authority in FY 2024 and continuing in FY 2025, ACFC supported two resource centers focused on providing training and technical assistance to enhance supportive housing for domestic violence survivors through the Safe Housing Capacity Building Center and the Tribal Safe Housing Capacity Building Center. Funding for the program - net of any authorized changes such as transfers or reprogramming - for five Funding for this program is also used to pay salaries and benefits for federal employees, information technology support, grants paneling, and other related administrative costs. The FY 2027 request for FVPSA programs is $245.0 million, the same as the FY 2026 level. The funding will continue to support survivors of domestic violence.
