Access and Visitation Mandatory Grants (AV)
Each year, about $10 million in grant funding goes to states and territories to operate the AV program, which helps increase noncustodial parents’ access to and time with their children. Services funded by the grant must support the intended program outcome defined by statute and outlined in program regulations.
