SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :

A. Legislative Authority

    Title III of the Child Abuse Amendments of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-457, 42 
U.S.C. 10401 et seq.) is entitled the ``Family Violence Prevention and 
Services Act'' (the Act). It was first implemented in FY 1986 and was 
reauthorized and amended for fiscal years 1993 through 1995 by Congress 
in May 1992 by Public Law 102-295.
    The purposes of this legislation are to assist States in supporting 
the establishment, maintenance, and expansion of programs and projects 
to prevent incidents of family violence and provide immediate shelter 
and related assistance for victims of family violence and their 
dependents.
    Both State and Indian tribal grantees are required to use not less 
than 70 percent of funds awarded for the purpose of providing immediate 
shelter and related assistance and not less than 25 percent of the 
funds are to be distributed for the purpose of providing related 
assistance as defined in section 303(f).

B. Background

    During FY 1993, 139 family violence prevention grants were made to 
States, Territories, and Indian Tribes; the Department also made 51 
family violence prevention grant awards to nonprofit State domestic 
violence coalitions. In response to the information and technical 
assistance needs of the family violence community the Department has 
established the National Resource Center for Domestic Violence (NRC) 
and three Special Issue Resource Centers (SIRC). The purpose of the NRC 
and the SIRCs is to provide resource information, training, and 
technical assistance to Federal, State, and Native American agencies, 
as well as to local domestic violence prevention programs and to other 
professionals who provide services to victims of domestic violence.
    In addition to the resource center network, the Department also 
awarded 21 family violence grants to assist in the development of 
public information and community awareness campaign projects and 
activities to serve as information models in the prevention of family 
violence. Six family violence prevention grants also were awarded to 
implement demonstration models/courses to train public prosecutors to 
successfully try cases of domestic violence.

C. Definitions

--Family Violence: Any act or threatened act of violence, including any 
forceful detention of an individual, which; (a) Results or threatens to 
result in physical injury and (b) is committed by a person against 
another individual (including an elderly person) to whom such person is 
or was related by blood or marriage or otherwise legally related or 
with whom such person is or was lawfully residing.
--Shelter: The provision of temporary refuge and related assistance in 
compliance with applicable State law and regulation governing the 
provision, on a regular basis, of shelter, safe homes, meals, and 
related assistance to victims of family violence and their dependents.
--Related assistance: The provision of direct assistance to victims of 
family violence and their dependents for the purpose of preventing 
further violence, helping such victims to gain access to civil and 
criminal courts and other community services, facilitating the efforts 
of such victims to make decisions concerning their lives in the 
interest of safety, and assisting such victims in healing from the 
effects of the violence. Related assistance includes:

    (a) Prevention services such as outreach and prevention, services 
for victims and their children, employment training, parenting and 
other educational services for victims and their children, preventive 
health services within domestic violence programs (including nutrition, 
disease prevention, exercise, and prevention of substance abuse), 
domestic violence prevention programs for school age children, family 
violence public awareness campaigns, and violence prevention counseling 
services to abusers;
    (b) Counseling with respect to family violence, counseling by peers 
individually or in groups, and referral to community social services;
    (c) Transportation, technical assistance with respect to obtaining 
financial assistance under Federal and State programs, and referrals 
for appropriate health-care services (including alcohol and drug abuse 
treatment), but does not include reimbursement for any health-care 
services;
    (d) Legal advocacy to provide victims with information and 
assistance through the civil and criminal courts, and legal assistance; 
or
    (e) Children's counseling and support services, and child care 
services for children who are victims of family violence or the 
dependents of such victims.

D. Eligibility: States

    ``States'' as defined in section 309(6) of the Act are eligible to 
apply for funds. The term ``State'' means each of the several States, 
the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, 
American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern 
Mariana Islands, and the remaining eligible entity previously a part of 
the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands--the Republic of Palau. In 
the past, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the 
Northern Mariana Islands, have applied for funds as a part of their 
consolidated Grant, under the Social Services Block grant. These 
jurisdictions need not submit an application under this Program 
Announcement if they choose to have their allotment included in a 
consolidated grant.

E. Eligibility: Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations

    Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations are eligible for funding 
under this program if they meet the definition of such entities as 
found in sections (e) and (l), respectively, of section 4 of the Indian 
Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act and are able to 
demonstrate their capacity to carry out a family violence prevention 
and services program. The required capacity must be demonstrated in the 
application. Methods of demonstrating such capacity can include, but 
are not limited to showing:
    (1) The current operation of a shelter, safehouse, or family 
violence prevention program;
    (2) Establishment of joint, collaborative, or service agreements 
with a local public agency or a private non-profit agency for the 
operation of family violence prevention activities or services; or
    (3) Establishment of social services as evidenced by receipt of 
``638'' contracts with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA); Title II 
Indian Child Welfare grants from the BIA; or Child Welfare Services 
grants under Title IV-B of the Social Security Act.
    A list of currently eligible Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations 
is found at appendix B of this Announcement. Any Tribe or Tribal 
organization that believes it has met the eligibility criteria and 
should be included in the list of eligible tribes should provide 
supportive documentation and a request for inclusion addressed to the 
contact person at the above address.
    As in previous years, Indian Tribes may apply singly or as a 
consortium. In addition, a non-profit private organization, approved by 
an eligible Indian Tribe for the operation of a family violence shelter 
on a reservation, is eligible for funding.
    Because section 304(a) specifies a minimum base amount for State 
allocations, we have set a base amount for Indian Tribal allotments. 
Since FY 1986, we have found, in practice, that the establishment of 
such an allocation, based on population, has facilitated our efforts to 
make a fair and equitable distribution of limited grant funds.
    Tribes which meet the application requirements and whose 
reservation and surrounding Tribal Trust Lands population is less than 
3,000 will receive a minimum of $3,000; Tribes which meet the 
application requirements and whose reservation and surrounding Tribal 
Trust Lands population exceeds 3,000 will receive a minimum of $8,000, 
except for the Navajo Tribe which will receive a minimum of $24,000 
because of its population. We have used these population figures to 
determine minimum funding levels since the beginning of the program.
    In computing Indian Tribal allocations, we will use the latest 
available population figures from the Census Bureau. Where Census 
Bureau data are unavailable, we will use figures from the BIA Indian 
Population and Labor Force Report. If not all eligible Tribes apply, 
the available funds will be divided proportionally among the Tribes 
which apply and meet the requirements.

F. Funds Available

    Family violence grants to the States, the District of Columbia, and 
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are based on population. Each grant 
shall be not less than 1% of the amounts appropriated for grants under 
section 303(a) or $200,000, whichever is the lesser amount. Guam, 
American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and 
the Republic of Palau will each receive grants not less than one-eighth 
of 1% percent of the amounts appropriated. State allocations are listed 
at the end of this Announcement and have been computed based on the 
formula in section 304 of the Act.
    The Secretary is required to make available not less than 10% of 
amounts appropriated for Section 303 in the form of grants to Indian 
Tribes, Tribal organizations, and non-profit private organizations 
approved by an Indian Tribe. The grant awards are for the operation of 
a family violence shelter on a reservation and for projects designed to 
prevent family violence and to provide immediate shelter and related 
assistance.
    Public Law 103-112, the Department of Health and Human Services 
Appropriations Act, 1994, made $27,679,000 available for carrying out 
the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act. Of this amount 
$2,500,000 will be allocated to State Domestic Violence Coalitions to 
coordinate services with local programs and do planning and training of 
criminal justice personnel. The distribution of funds for the State 
Domestic Violence Coalitions will be made in a separate announcement.
    Of the remaining $25,179,000, the Department will make $20,143,200 
available for grants to States and Territories, $2,517,900 available 
for grants to Indian Tribes or Tribal organizations, and $1,258,950 
available to the National Resource Center and the Special Issue 
Resource Centers (80%, 10%, and 5%, respectively, of the total amount 
appropriated under section 310(a)).
    Approximately $1.2 million of FY 1994 family violence funds will be 
used in various technical assistance projects currently in the planning 
phase.
    For FY 1995 the Department intends to make funding available for 
family violence prevention and services programs subject to 
Congressional appropriations. The requirements set forth in this 
announcement will apply to the family violence program for FY 1995. 
Specific information regarding funds available, State allocations, and 
requirements regarding grant award periods will be provided by program 
announcement or program instruction as soon as the FY 1995 
appropriation is known.

G. Grant Award Period

    All FY 1994 funds must be obligated by grantees by June 30, 1995 
and liquidated not later than June 30, 1996. FY 1994 grant funds which 
are made available to the States through reallotment, under section 
304(d)(1), must be obligated and liquidated by the States no later than 
September 30, 1995.

H. Reporting Requirements

    All State and Tribal grantees are reminded that annual program 
activity reports and annual Financial Status Reports (Standard Form
