The bill would create a grant program to help survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, and other forms of gender-based violence prepare for and find work. Grants could support job counseling and training, connections with employers, and services such as child care, transportation, legal help, and counseling. Eligible grant applicants include states, local governments, Indian tribes, and nonprofits with a documented history of effective work on these issues. Grant recipients would report on their services and results, and the Director of the Office on Violence Against Women would report to Congress.
Survivors could seek workforce and support services through programs funded by these grants. The bill does not guarantee that any particular person will receive services. Organizations would need to apply and qualify for a grant.
The bill would authorize $40 million for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030. This is an authorization for appropriations, not a statement that the money has been appropriated or spent.
