119th (2025–2027)
H.R. 7333
The Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act of 2026 expands and modernizes domestic violence services nationwide by authorizing $270 million annually from 2027 through 2031 to support trauma-informed, culturally relevant prevention and intervention programs. The bill requires services be made free and universally accessible, removes income eligibility barriers, and allocates funding through a formula prioritizing tribal grants (12.5%), state grants (70%), and specialized programs including two new resource centers for Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities. Key improvements include expanding the National Domestic Violence Hotline to include digital services and establishing a new tribal hotline, strengthening services for underserved populations, requiring culturally specific interventions, funding tribal domestic violence coalitions, and making shelter participation voluntary rather than conditional. The legislation also establishes multiple grant programs for prevention activities, technical assistance networks, and evidence-based strategies, while protecting victim confidentiality and prohibiting service provider discrimination.
