§10403 Authorization of Appropriations

Summary

Congress approved money to run the programs in sections 10401 through 10414. For each year 2011 through 2015, $175,000,000 was set aside for sections 10401–10412. If more than $130,000,000 is provided in a year, at least 25% of the extra money must go to carry out section 10412. Of the remaining funds, at least 70% must go to grants under 10406(a). At least 10% must go to tribal programs (10409), at least 6% to technical assistance centers (10410), and at least 10% to State Domestic Violence Coalitions (10411). No more than 2.5% may be used for evaluation, monitoring, and administration. Separately, $3,500,000 each year (2011–2015) is for the national domestic violence hotline (10413), and $6,000,000 each year (2011–2015) is for the Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership program (10414). Extra funds were also provided for fiscal year 2021. That included $180,000,000 for sections 10401–10412, to be split the same way as above but with some exceptions: certain matching rules do not apply, timing rules in 10405(e) are changed to run through the end of fiscal year 2025, and money that is properly obligated can be spent through the end of fiscal year 2025. In addition, $18,000,000 was provided for 10409, and $2,000,000 for 10413, with $1,000,000 of that set aside for Indian communities.
