To amend the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act to authorize grants to ensure access for victims of family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence to substance use disorder treatment that allows parents (or legal guardians) and their children, stepchildren, or other dependents to remain together throughout the course of treatment, and for other purposes.
This bill, HR 6097, authorizes $30 million annually (2023-2027) to fund grants for programs helping victims of family violence, domestic violence, or dating violence who also need substance use treatment. It requires these programs to allow parents or guardians to stay with their children, stepchildren, or dependents throughout treatment - providing services like residential care, housing support, family counseling, and health care. Eligible recipients include states, nonprofits, health departments, and domestic violence organizations that demonstrate experience in violence prevention and substance use recovery. The bill also creates a National Capacity Building Center to train grantees and share best practices for keeping families together during treatment.
