Supporting Survivors from Faith-based Communities Act
To provide for a grant program to support the establishment and operation of a national faith-based resource center on domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
HB8813 proposes to create a grant program aimed at establishing a national resource center focused on supporting survivors from faith-based communities who have experienced domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The bill seeks to provide resources and assistance to these survivors, ensuring they have access to necessary support within their faith communities.
The bill would affect survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in faith-based communities by offering them a dedicated resource center. This center would provide support services, information, and guidance tailored to the specific needs and cultural contexts of these communities.
As of May 14, 2026, HB8813 has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. Key actions so far include its introduction and referral, with ongoing steps likely to involve committee review and potential amendments before any vote.
