Survivors of violence would get job training and support services to help them find work.
This bill would create a new federal program to help survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other gender-based violence find and keep jobs. It would set aside money for grants to local groups that offer job counseling, training, and support like child care and transportation for survivors and their families.
Today, there is no specific federal program under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 dedicated to helping survivors of gender-based violence with workforce development and support services. If this bill becomes law, it would create the Gender-Based Violence Survivor Workforce Program. It would set aside $40 million each year from the government's budget year 2026 through 2030 for grants. These grants would fund local programs offering job training, counseling, and essential support like child care and transportation for survivors and their families.
