Details:
FVPSA provides the primary federal funding stream dedicated to the support of emergency shelter and supportive services for victims of domestic violence, as well as their dependents. First authorized as part of the Child Abuse Amendments of 1984 (Public Law 98- 457), FVPSA became the first federal commitment to creating a pathway to safety for survivors of domestic violence and their children. FVPSA has been amended eight times and most recently was reauthorized in December 2010 for five years by the Child Abuse and Treatment Act Reauthorization Act of 2010 (42 U.S.C. § 10401 – 10414). Since 1984, Congress has continued to make its intent clear that FVPSA funds are to be used to raise awareness of domestic violence, prevent its occurrence, provide services to victims and their children, and support domestic violence providers to enhance their responses through training and technical assistance.
Specifically, FVPSA has the following statutory purposes:
- Assist states and Indian tribes in efforts to increase public awareness about, and primary and secondary prevention of, family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence;
- Assist states and Indian tribes in efforts to provide immediate shelter and supportive services for victims of domestic violence and their dependents;
- Provide for a national domestic violence hotline; and
- Provide for technical assistance and training relating to domestic violence programs to states and Indian tribes, local public agencies (including law enforcement agencies, courts, and legal, social service, and health care professionals), nonprofit private organizations (including faith- based and charitable organizations, community-based organizations, and voluntary associations), tribal organizations, and other persons seeking such assistance and training.
Additionally, FVPSA is authorized to support the following:
- Award grants to reduce disparities by providing statewide information, training, and technical assistance to local domestic violence service organizations serving Native Hawaiians, in a culturally sensitive and relevant manner.
- Coordinate activities with other Federal agencies, offices, and grantees that address the needs of Native Hawaiians that experience violence.
FYSB Priorities
The mission of FYSB is to support the organizations and communities that work every day to put an end to youth homelessness, adolescent pregnancy and domestic violence. FYSB achieves this by supporting programs that provide shelter, community services and prevention education for youth, adults, and families.
