Bill overview
This bill, the POWER Act, temporarily suspends matching fund requirements and related reporting for federal grants aimed at preventing family violence and providing services. It allows states to receive these grants without having to match funds themselves, specifically for fiscal years 2019 and 2020, and continues this waiver during the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency. The goal is to increase the availability of resources for domestic violence victims and survivors.
