Family Violence Prevention and Services Discretionary Grants: Culturally Specific Trauma Services for Families Impacted by Domestic Violence

Application Due Date: 08/12/2013.

This new funding opportunity will award four cooperative agreements to implement culturally relevant, trauma-informed services for individuals and families impacted by domestic violence, dating violence, and family violence.  The intent of this Family Violence Prevention and Services Discretionary Grant Program is to build and sustain organizational capacity in delivering trauma-informed, developmentally sensitive, culturally relevant services for children, individuals, and families affected by domestic violence (DV) and other trauma. This discretionary grant program will build upon the progress of culturally specific and community-based domestic violence programs in reducing the pervasive and harmful impact of violence and trauma by implementing culturally relevant, trauma-informed, and evidence-informed interventions for individuals and families who are from diverse and historically marginalized communities.
