Preventing Domestic Violence Homicides Through Lethality Assessment Training and Technical Assistance Act
This bill establishes a national resource center to help states, local governments, and tribes adopt programs designed to prevent domestic violence homicides. It authorizes the Attorney General to award grants to nonprofit or tribal organizations that have proven experience in creating and evaluating these safety initiatives. The funded programs would train first responders to better identify high-risk situations and connect victims quickly with community support services using evidence-based tools. A total of $5,000,000 is authorized annually starting in fiscal year 2026 to support these efforts.
