Evidence

The bipartisan Supporting Survivors from Faith-based Communities Act would establish a dedicated National Resource Center through the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) to support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in faith communities. The Center would provide training, technical assistance, and resources to religious institutions, victim service providers, and community partners.

This is direct evidence that Frankel introduced legislation matching the claim during the current term, but it is an introduction rather than enactment.

House office news lists the May 14, 2026 press release describing the introduction of the Supporting Survivors from Faith-based Communities Act and its purpose to establish a dedicated National Resource Center through OVW for faith-community survivors.

Confirms the introduction is part of Frankel's current congressional activity in the same term, but does not show final passage or implementation.

OVW's TA providers deliver training, resources, and expertise to support professionals and organizations addressing domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.

Shows OVW already operates training and technical assistance infrastructure, but this page does not evidence creation of the specific faith-communities National Resource Center.

The OVW archive includes an item titled 'Faith-Based and Community Organizations Play a Vital Role in Domestic Violence Programs.'

This indicates OVW has previously engaged faith-based organizations in domestic-violence work, but it does not establish the new dedicated resource center sought by the claim.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The evidence shows Lois Frankel introduced bipartisan legislation in May 2026 that directly matches the promise to establish a dedicated National Resource Center through the Office on Violence Against Women for survivors in faith communities. However, the record provided shows only bill introduction and advocacy, not enactment, funding, or actual establishment of the center. Under the rule that a serious legislative attempt without achieving the promised outcome should be scored as never with effort credit, this is best judged as an unfulfilled promise with a clear good-faith effort in the same term.
