Trump’s funding freeze impacts domestic violence services
The Trump administration’s freeze on funding for domestic violence programs is raising alarm. Advocates warn that delays and potential cuts to grants, particularly from the DOJ's Office on Violence Against Women, threaten services for marginalized groups, including Indigenous survivors. Nonprofits face challenges with possible layoffs and reductions in emergency shelters. Lawmakers from both parties have criticized the freeze, emphasizing the critical need for continued support for survivors.
