Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act of 2026

This bill updates the federal Family Violence Prevention and Services Act. It authorizes $270 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 for core programs, with set shares for Tribes, state formula grants, coalitions, and other services, plus separate amounts for the national hotlines and other programs. It adds rules that funded programs may not discriminate, must keep victim information confidential, and may not charge fees or use income limits for services. It creates a new grant program for Tribal domestic violence coalitions and new Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian resource centers. It also lets the federal health secretary waive grant requirements during declared disasters and public health emergencies.
