Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the critical role of victim service providers in the response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, by supporting victims through the physical, mental, emotional, financial, and legal challenges they may face in the aftermath of violence.
H.Res. 933 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for victim service providers—nonprofits, rape crisis centers, and community organizations that assist survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The resolution recognizes that these providers are often the first point of contact for traumatized victims and offer critical services including trauma-informed care, legal guidance, counseling, housing assistance, and help navigating the criminal justice system. The resolution emphasizes that victim service providers are historically underfunded and under-resourced, which limits their ability to provide consistent, quality care to survivors. The House formally acknowledges the need for meaningful investment in these organizations so they can continue their lifesaving work. As a resolution rather than legislation, this does not authorize spending or create law; instead, it expresses the chamber's position on the importance of supporting victim services.
