Description
The
Family Violence Prevention and Services Discretionary Grants: Specialized
Services for Abused Parents and Their Children (Demonstration Projects) will
support up to 26 demonstration projects. Funded demonstration projects will
focus on expanding their capacity (as family violence, domestic violence, and
dating violence coalitions; local programs; tribal communities; and
community-based programs) to prevent future domestic violence by addressing, in
a developmentally appropriate manner, the needs of children exposed to family
violence, domestic violence, or dating violence.
Grant funds shall be used: (A) to provide direct counseling,
appropriate services consistent with or advocacy on behalf of victims of family
violence, domestic violence, or dating violence and their children, including
coordinating services with services provided by the child welfare system; (B) to
provide services for nonabusing parents to support
those parents' roles as caregivers and their roles in responding to the social,
emotional, and developmental needs of their children; and (C) where appropriate,
to provide the services described in this subsection while working with such a
nonabusing parent and child together. Additionally,
funds may be used: (A) to provide early childhood development and mental health
services; (B) to coordinate activities with and provide technical assistance to
community-based organizations serving abused victims or children exposed to
domestic violence; and (C) to provide additional services and referrals to
services for children, including child care, transportation, educational

necessary services.
