Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act of 2026
Summary
S. 3764 would amend the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act to reauthorize and expand federal funding for domestic violence prevention and support services. The bill would increase the funding authorization level to $270 million to address current low per-program funding levels and expand access to federal domestic violence prevention services for programs not currently receiving funding. These federal programs represent the primary source of dedicated funding under the Department of Health and Human Services for domestic violence prevention, supporting shelters, crisis services, and assistance for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, and family violence. The bill is bipartisan legislation that would strengthen the federal government's response to domestic violence by ensuring more comprehensive support and resources are available to survivors and prevention programs across the country.
