The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $13.2 million cooperative agreement under the Family Violence Prevention and Services/Culturally Specific Domestic Violence and Sexual Violence Services (CFDA 93.496) program to the Asian Pacific Institute On Gender-Based Violence. The award period is from March 15, 2021 through September 30, 2025.
Through this funding, culturally specific services will be provided to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault from underserved populations. The prime awardee will support sub-awardees in delivering services including crisis intervention, advocacy, legal assistance, mental health support, job training, community education, and prevention programs tailored for specific ethnic communities. Sub-awardees will provide these services in 17 states and territories, focusing on populations such as Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders, South Asians, Middle Eastern, and various Asian and African immigrant communities. The goal is to address and prevent gender-based violence through empowering survivors and changing social norms.
