The Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women awarded the National Network To End Domestic Violence, Inc. a $700,000 cooperative agreement on August 1, 2026, under the OVW Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA 16.526) to continue its Comprehensive Transitional Housing Technical Assistance Project through July 31, 2027.

NNEDV develops and updates resources and provides basic and intermediate training and technical assistance to OVW grantees, subgrantees, and the broader domestic violence field on transitional housing programs. The work is performed in Washington, DC. This is year four of a five-year comprehensive technical assistance project awarded competitively under the FY 2022 TA Initiative solicitation and continues funding previously obligated under Cooperative Agreement 15JOVW-24-GK-03010-TRAN.

The office on violence against women (OVW) training and technical assistance (TA) initiative provides OVW grantees, subgrantees, and potential grantees and subgrantees with the expertise and support they need to develop and implement successful state, local, tribal, and campus projects; increase victim safety; and bolster offender accountability. Through cooperative agreements, OVW supports educational programming and resources, conferences, peer-to-peer learning, and targeted assistance that allows current and potential grantees and subgrantees to learn from experts and one another about how to overcome obstacles and incorporate promising practices in their efforts to address violence against women. In addition, OVW is focused on building the capacity of the criminal and civil justice systems and victim service providers to respond effectively to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and to foster partnerships between organizations that have not traditionally worked together to address violence against women. With FY 2025 TA initiative funding, the national network to end domestic violence (NNEDV) will continue its comprehensive transitional housing technical assistance project. NNEDV will develop and update resources as well as provide basic and intermediate training and technical assistance to grantees, subgrantees, and the broader field. This project supports FY 2025 TA initiative purpose area 46: comprehensive for the transitional housing program. This award is for year four of a five-year comprehensive TA project awarded competitively under the FY 2022 TA initiative solicitation. This award is a continuation of 15JOVW-24-GK-03010-tran.
