Family Violence Prevention Program

Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC)'s Family Violence Prevention Program (FVPP) supports the day-to-day operations of 41 shelters, as well as funding for community-driven proposals for family violence prevention projects on and off reserve.

• The goal of the FVPP is to improve the safety and security of Indigenous women, children and families. INAC has made women, children and families a priority.
• The FVPP has two components: funding for the day-to-day operations of a network of shelters that provide services for women and children living on reserve in provinces and in the Yukon funding for annual or multi-year community-driven prevention projects such as public awareness campaigns, conferences, workshops, stress and anger management seminars, support groups, and community needs assessments on and off-reserve.
• The FVPP supports activities that increase awareness of family violence and provide families and communities with the tools to help deal with violence.
