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 at least 12.5 percent reserved for grants to Indian Tribes, plus separate funding for the national domestic violence hotline, a national Indian hotline, and other programs. It bars income eligibility standards and fees for funded services, requires grantees to protect victims' confidential information, and states that shelter cannot be conditioned on taking part in supportive services. It also creates a new grant program for Tribal domestic violence coalitions, adds Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian resource centers, and lets the Secretary waive certain grant requirements during declared disasters and emergencies.
