2021 FVPSA American Rescue Plan COVID-19 Testing, Vaccines, and Mobile Health Units Supplemental Program Instruction and Funding Tables

The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) program will award $550 million to grantees to support COVID-19 testing, vaccines, and mobile health units for millions of domestic violence survivors nationwide.

These funds will reduce the barriers to health services that help mitigate the spread of the virus for domestic violence survivors, including in rural communities and in the geographically isolated Alaskan Native villages, and will promote the health and well-being of adults and children exposed to domestic violence. This historic investment will provide 296 supplemental grant awards that will reach states, territories, and Tribes. This funding will research thousands of programs across the country including 1,500 local domestic violence shelters, as well as 252 tribal domestic violence programs. 

By addressing domestic violence as a public health epidemic, FVPSA’s reach is broad and changes lives. Each year, FVPSA-funded state and tribal programs serve more than 1.3 million victims and their dependents and respond to 2.7 million crisis calls; with these supplemental funds, FVPSA grant programs will be able to provide critical supports to even more families all across the country.
