The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health through its Office on Women’s Health is seeking applications for Fiscal Year 2026 grants to establish or expand long-term safe homes for women and girls who have experienced sexual exploitation or abuse.

The initiative emphasizes creating coordinated networks among healthcare systems, domestic and sexual violence agencies, law enforcement, behavioral health and substance use treatment providers, and educational institutions to ensure a collaborative, trauma-informed response that prevents re-traumatization and enhances long-term outcomes. Funding is authorized under sections 229 and 1703(a) of the Public Health Service Act and supported by the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act, 2026. Applications must be submitted by July 20, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to the designated point of contact at the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health.

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) Office on Women's Health (OWH) announces the anticipated availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 grants under the authority of section 229 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. § 237a) and section 1703(a) of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. § 300u-2(a)). Those grants are funded through the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026.This notice solicits applications for initiatives that seek to address sexual violence by founding or replicating new safe homes for sexually exploited and/or abused women or girls. These safe homes must provide longer-term housing for months or years–sufficient to serve the rehabilitative needs of the populations served–as opposed to emergency shelter, along with comprehensive multidisciplinary care that addresses the physical, psychological, emotional, social, and educational needs of the girls and women they serve. Grantees are expected to strengthen partnerships between state- and/or community-level providers which may include healthcare systems, domestic or sexual violence organizations, law enforcements, behavioral health providers, substance use disorder treatment providers, or education providers. By partnering with healthcare and community organizations, these safe homes would improve healthcare providers' ability to help victims of violence and improve prevention of further violence and re-traumatization by providing female victims of sexual exploitation and/or abuse with the comprehensive, therapeutic, and staffed, around-the-clock care that they need.
