The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is offering the Safe Havens Grant to support communities in providing supervised visitation and safe exchange services for children in situations involving domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, child abuse, or stalking. This grant addresses the heightened risk of violence and continued abuse victims and their children often face after separating from an abuser. Batterers frequently exploit visitation and exchange opportunities to inflict further emotional, physical, or psychological harm. Therefore, services funded through this program must demonstrate a deep understanding of domestic violence dynamics, its profound impact on children, and the critical importance of holding offenders accountable for their actions, ensuring safer environments for vulnerable families.

| Description: | The Safe Havens: Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Program (Supervised Visitation Program) provides an opportunity for communities to support supervised visitation and safe exchange of children in situations involving domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, child abuse, or stalking. Research has shown that the risk of violence is often greater for victims of domestic violence and their children after separation from an abusive situation. Even after separation, batterers often use visitation and exchange of children as an opportunity to inflict additional emotional, physical, and/or psychological abuse on victims and their children. Visitation and exchange services provided through the Supervised Visitation Program should reflect a clear understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking; the impact of domestic violence on children; and the importance of holding offenders accountable for their actions. |
