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

The recipient delivers education, support, and technical assistance to domestic violence service providers across the Northern Mariana Islands, enabling providers to establish and maintain shelter and supportive services for victims of domestic violence and their dependents. The coalition serves as an information clearinghouse, primary point of contact, and resource center on domestic violence for the territory, and supports development of policies, protocols, and procedures to enhance domestic violence intervention and prevention.

The award runs through September 30, 2027, with performance taking place in the Northern Mariana Islands. This is a formula grant directly awarded to the HHS-designated state domestic violence coalition. The recipient, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Saipan, has received multiple federal awards totaling over $1.6 million from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women and ACYF, enabling coordination of statewide victim services activities, collaboration on violence against women initiatives, and provision of training and technical assistance to member organizations.
