The OVW state and territory domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions program, (coalitions program, cfda 16.556) is authorized by 34 U.S.C. 10441(c) and 34 U.S.C. 12511(d)

The Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women awarded Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence $110,090 on October 1, 2025, under the State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (CFDA 16.556). The award supports coordination of state victim services activities and collaboration with federal, state, and local entities engaged in violence against women activities. The performance period runs through September 30, 2026, with work performed in Wilmington, Delaware. As Delaware's state domestic violence and sexual assault coalition, DCADV uses formula grant funding to provide training and technical assistance to member organizations, develop and enhance service standards including culturally appropriate services for underserved populations, conduct statewide meetings and workshops for victim advocates and survivors, identify service gaps, coordinate local activities, and implement intimate partner violence prevention programs.

This grant program supports the critical work of state and territory domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions. IT is a set-aside program under the OVW stop violence against women formula grant program statute and also includes a statutory set aside from the sexual assault services program (sasp) statute, specifically for state and territory sexual assault coalitions. Grant funds authorized under the stop set-aside may be used for one or more of the following purposes: 1. Coordinating state and territory victim services activities. 2. Collaborating and coordinating with federal, state, territory, and local entities engaged in violence against women activities.
