The bill would create grants to help address technology-related abuse against victims and survivors. A federal office could award up to 15 grants of no more than $2 million each to partnerships involving victim service providers and technology experts. Grant money could pay for devices and other victim services. The bill would also create grants, totaling no more than $20 million, for nonprofit organizations and colleges to develop training, educational programs, technical assistance, and materials. The pilot program would end five years after its first grant award. Reports would review the programs and recommend whether the pilot should become permanent.
Victims and survivors could receive support through organizations that win grants, including services to reduce technology-related abuse or new devices. Organizations and people who support victims could also receive training and educational materials. The bill does not guarantee that any specific person or organization would receive assistance.
The bill authorizes Congress to provide funds as needed but does not specify an overall amount to be appropriated. Pilot grants would be capped at $2 million each, with no more than 15 grants. Grants for education and training would total no more than $20 million.
