Savp-2026 - state access and visitation

The Oregon Department of Justice received a $100,000 formula grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Grants to States for Access and Visitation Programs (CFDA 93.597), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. This grant supports the state's efforts to establish and administer programs that facilitate non-custodial parent access to and visitation of their children through an array of evidence-based services and activities.

The funded services include mediation (both voluntary and mandatory), counseling, parenting education, development of parenting plans, visitation enforcement activities (including monitoring, supervision, and neutral drop-off/pick-up services), and development of guidelines for visitation and alternative custody arrangements. As a formula-funded program with a statutory $100,000 minimum allotment per state, Oregon's award represents the baseline allocation determined by the ratio of single-parent households in the state. The Oregon Department of Justice, consistent with its federal grant portfolio management practices, may distribute portions of this funding to county governments and community service providers throughout the state to extend program reach and ensure statewide implementation of access and visitation support services.
