Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act of 2026

H.R. 7333 would reauthorize and expand federal funding for domestic violence prevention and services programs. The bill would increase the funding authorization level to $270 million to address very low per-program funding levels and provide access to federal funds for programs not currently receiving support. These programs represent the only federal funding sources under the Department of Health and Human Services dedicated to providing domestic violence prevention services, including emergency shelters and related assistance for domestic violence survivors.

The legislation is designed to support survivors and prevent family and domestic violence through grants to state and tribal coalitions and community-based organizations. If enacted, the bill would help expand access to critical services for domestic violence victims and their families. The bill is currently under consideration in the House Committee on Education and Workforce and the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
