ZeroV

Our communities depend on federal grants to support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. In just one day, ZeroV’s domestic violence programs served 1,411 survivors with lifesaving domestic violence services they depend on to keep themselves and their children safe. Call or email your congressman and ask that they urge the DOJ and HHS to immediately publish NOFOs and expedite the release of congressionally appropriated funds. Survivors can’t wait.

This year’s Family Violence Prevention and Services Act ( ) funding should have begun on October 1, 2025. But the funding notices haven’t even been released yet – and it will take another 6-9 months to receive funding once they are. This means that ZeroV’s domestic violence shelters and programs will face months without core funding that helped them serve over 14,000 adults and children in fiscal year 2025 alone. Call or email your congressman and ask that they urge HHS to immediately publish NOFOs and expedite the release of congressionally appropriated funds. Survivors can’t wait.

Today, ZeroV joins domestic violence and sexual assault programs across the nation in support of urging Congress to release the critical funding that allows our programs to provide lifesaving domestic violence services that victims and survivors depend on. Join us for NNEDV’s National Days of Action to urge the release of these appropriated funds to fund lifesaving domestic violence services and prevent gaps and delays in service provision that risk survivor safety. Call or email your congressman and ask that they urge the DOJ to expedite the release of congressionally appropriated funds. Survivors can’t wait.
