The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) is the primary federal funding stream dedicated to supporting emergency shelters and related assistance for victims of domestic violence and their children. We recognize the interrelated aspects of domestic violence with homelessness, economic hardship, workplace readiness, physical and behavioral health concerns, and culturally specific needs. The Office of Family Violence Prevention and Services (OFVPS) works across the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to address these issues, including meeting the needs of children exposed to family violence. 

For 40 years, FVPSA has served as an essential building block for the federal response to domestic violence and dating by ensuring the availability of funding for core community-based shelters and services that support millions of families. Learn about the impact we are making by viewing our latest FVPSA Data Point, fact sheets, and various data-related resources. Click the link to read our latest FVPSA data-related news story.


 

FVPSA Data Resources

States, territories, tribes, shelters, and hotlines serve as lifelines for millions of domestic violence survivors and their children each year. The domestic violence services data helps us all learn about the reach and impact of FVPSA funding in local communities.  FVPSA funded formula grant recipients submit performance progress reports annually that includes important details about the domestic violence shelter and supportive services provided to families all across the nation. The FVPSA Program has created several fact sheets and presentations that highlight the FVPSA mission and our support of survivors, children, youth, and families.
