YWCA USA 2021 FVPSA Impact and Success Stories

Written By Jeannine Gallagher

The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) has been instrumental in preventing and responding to gender-based violence. Since its initial authorization in 1984 and subsequent reauthorizations, FVPSA has created the first and only federal funding stream dedicated to supporting domestic violence programs and shelters, thereby directly addressing the childcare, housing, community support, transportation, and other barriers that survivors of gender-based violence face in accessing safety and resources.
