Highlights from the Revised FVPSA Regulations for Advocates and Programs Serving LGBTQ Survivors

Revised rules and regulations regarding the FVPSA program have taken effect.

The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act program provides federal funds to states for distribution to DV and SA programs. Most DV programs receiving state funds also receive FVPSA funds. The FVPSA regulations set forth important parameters, limits and requirements for FVPSA funded programs. These regulations impact survivors on a day to day level.
FVPSA program office undertook a careful and collaborative process of updating regulations to reflect what the field has learned about the needs and realities of DV survivors as well as the DV movement’s and Federal Government’s commitment to meaningful and accessible services for DV survivors and their children.

Changes include improvements and clarifications related to access to DV advocacy and shelter for LGBTQ survivors.
