Sdvc-2026 - statewide domestic violence coalition

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded $370,000 to Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence on October 1, 2025, under the Family Violence Prevention and Services / State Domestic Violence Coalitions program (CFDA 93.591).

The recipient coordinates victim services and violence prevention efforts across Hawaii, serving as the statewide intermediary between federal, state, and local entities addressing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Activities funded through this award include coordinating victim services across the islands, providing training and technical assistance to member organizations, developing culturally appropriate service standards for underserved populations, conducting statewide and regional meetings and workshops for victim advocates, survivors, legal service providers, and criminal justice representatives, identifying service gaps and coordinating activities to address them, increasing representation of underserved populations in coordination efforts, and collaborating with federal, state, and local agencies to develop or enhance violence prevention strategies. The recipient also expands technological capacity and promotes coalition-building at local and state levels.

The award period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, with performance taking place in Hawaii. This is a formula grant, with funds awarded directly to the HHS-designated state coalition and drawn down through an account established by the Division of Payment Management.
