Bill > HRes933

This resolution recognizes the critical role of victim service providers in supporting survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. As defined by the Violence Against Women Act, victim service providers are nonprofit, nongovernmental, or Tribal organizations that assist victims through various challenges. The resolution highlights that these providers are often the first point of contact for victims experiencing trauma, offering trauma-informed care and helping survivors connect with essential services like legal guidance, counseling, housing assistance, and medical support. They play a crucial role in helping victims navigate complex systems, including criminal justice proceedings, alternative dispute resolution, and post-conviction matters. The resolution acknowledges that victim service providers collaborate with law enforcement, healthcare providers, and community organizations to provide comprehensive support, but have historically been underfunded and under-resourced. Ultimately, the House of Representatives deeply values the work of victim service providers in helping survivors heal mentally, physically, and emotionally, and acknowledges the need for meaningful investment in their critical services.
