Grants to train responders on domestic violence
If enacted, the Attorney General, with HHS, would award competitive grants to eligible health facilities that partner with victim service groups. Funds would train covered responders—health staff, school staff and campus police, and emergency services—to use trauma-informed, victim-centered practices. Grantees would test existing evidence-based trainings, do outreach, improve coordination with law enforcement and response teams, and ensure proper case reporting. Each grantee would work with a research partner and share results; GAO would report to Congress within three years. The bill authorizes $10 million each year for FY2026–FY2030 across urban, suburban, Tribal, remote, rural, campus, and underserved settings.
