Sdvc-2026 - statewide domestic violence coalition

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

ICADV, the designated state domestic violence coalition for Iowa, delivers training and technical assistance to victim advocates across the state's six victim services regions, develops culturally appropriate service standards for underserved populations, and conducts statewide and regional meetings and workshops. The organization coordinates with judicial and law enforcement agencies to enhance strategies addressing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. ICADV operates as a subgrantee under the Iowa State Department of Justice for several awards, through which it delivers certification training, continuing education, and professional development to direct service advocates working in domestic assault comprehensive programs, shelters, and culturally-specific victim service programs.

The award obligates $370,000 and covers the period from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. Performance occurs in Iowa. The program funds HHS-designated State Domestic Violence Coalitions to provide education, support, and technical assistance to domestic violence service providers, serve as an information clearinghouse and primary point of contact on domestic violence for the state, and support development of policies, protocols, and procedures to enhance domestic violence intervention and prevention.
