FY2024 Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA)

The FVPSA grant funds shall be used for programs and projects that are designed to prevent incidents of family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence by providing immediate shelter and supportive services, and that may include paying for the operating and administrative expenses of the facilities for a shelter, for adult and youth victims of family violence, domestic violence, or dating violence, and their dependents; and that may be used to provide prevention services to prevent future incidents of family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence (42 U.S.C. § 10408(a) and 42 U.S.C. § 10408(b)(1)(A)). The application process is non-competitive. Previous funding does not guarantee an award during this funding cycle. Approximately $950,000 will be available during the project period, depending upon availability of federal funds. Because federal funds are not always available immediately following the award date, applicants should prepare for this contingency. Matching contributions of 20% (cash or in-kind) of the total cost of the FVPSA project (federal funds plus local match) are required and must be derived from non-federal sources. All funds designated as match are restricted to the same uses as the federal funds and must be expended within the grant period. Federally Recognized Tribes are not required to provide match.

Applicants having questions or requiring clarification or interpretation of any section within this opportunity must address these issues via the email address listed above by the date listed above. Clear reference to the application section and item in question must be included in the request. Questions received after the close date will not be considered. Program-specific questions cannot be addressed during the solicitation period. Written responses to all questions received by the deadline will be posted in the Opportunity Details section of this application within seven calendar days. Applicants should consult the Question Submission response prior to posting a question to avoid duplication and prior to submitting an application to avoid missing potentially assistive material. Any other form of interpretation of this application will not be binding upon MBCC.
