The award obligates $7,010,145 and runs through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in New York.
The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act funds are designated for immediate shelter and supportive services to victims and survivors of family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence and their dependents, as well as prevention and awareness activities and specialized services for children exposed to domestic and dating violence. This is a formula grant distributed directly to states; New York's allocation reflects its state-specific share of available program funds, contingent on the state's application meeting necessary requirements.
The New York office operates as the state's recipient entity for this assistance type and distributes substantial portions of federal family violence funding as sub-awards to county-level recipients and community-based nonprofits throughout New York State. Recipients must maintain records documenting expenditure purposes in accordance with 2 CFR 200.334–.338 and comply with 45 CFR Part 75 audit requirements.
