About women's shelter grants

Grants for women's shelters fund emergency and transitional housing, crisis intervention, advocacy, and supportive services for survivors of domestic violence and their children. Federal support comes primarily through the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA), the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), administered by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for women's shelters?

Shelter funding supports emergency and transitional housing, hotlines, counseling, legal advocacy, children's services, and prevention programs. The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act provides dedicated funding for shelters, while VAWA and VOCA dollars support a broader range of survivor services, much of it passed through state agencies to local programs.

Does the federal government fund domestic violence shelters?

Yes. The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, is the primary federal funding stream dedicated to shelters, and Department of Justice programs under the Violence Against Women Act and the Victims of Crime Act fund additional survivor services. These federal funds are largely distributed through state agencies and coalitions.

How do shelters access these federal funds?

Most FVPSA, VAWA, and VOCA dollars reach local shelters through state administering agencies and statewide domestic violence coalitions rather than direct federal awards. Connecting with your state coalition and victim-services agency, while also pursuing community foundation and corporate grants, gives shelters the most stable funding base.
