Crime Survivor Support and Stability Act of 2026
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The act calls on every state to review and, if needed, revise its laws so that survivors of violence have guaranteed rights to trauma‑care, emergency cash, stable housing, paid leave, debt relief, legal help, alternative accountability options, and protection from criminal penalties tied to their victimization. It also directs the Justice Department’s Office for Victims of Crime to award grants to community‑based organizations that can provide direct cash assistance to survivors, with priority given to groups serving high‑violence and high‑incarceration communities. The bill is currently referred to the Judiciary and Ways and Means committees.
