The training and services to end violence against women with disabilities grant program (disability grant program) is authorized by 34 U.S.C. § 20122

The Disability Law Center of Virginia will provide $500,000 in training, consultation, and outreach services to end violence against women with disabilities through September 2024 under a cooperative agreement award from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women. The goal of the Education, Training, and Enhanced Services to End Violence Against and Abuse of Women with Disabilities program (CFDA 16.529) is to create sustainable improvements in how organizations respond to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking victims who have disabilities. Key services will include establishing multidisciplinary collaborations, increasing organizational capacity to serve disabled victims safely and effectively, and developing plans to address identified service gaps. The Disability Law Center will lead a team including at least one victim service provider and one nonprofit serving individuals with disabilities.

The goal of the disability grant program is to create sustainable change within and between organizations that improves the response to individuals with disabilities and deaf individuals who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and to hold perpetrators of such crimes accountable. Disability grant program funds are used to establish and strengthen multidisciplinary collaborative relationships; increase organizational capacity to provide accessible, safe, and effective services to individuals with disabilities and deaf individuals who are victims of violence and abuse; and identify needs within the grantee's organization and/or service area and develop a plan to address those identified needs that builds a strong foundation for future work. Funds must be used to support a multidisciplinary collaborative team that includes at least one victim service provider or tribal organization serving victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking and at least one nonprofit, nongovernmental organization or tribal organization serving individuals with disabilities and/or deaf individuals.
