On July 29, 2010, the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee passed the Labor, Health and Human Services (LHHS) funding bill which funds the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA), the National Domestic Violence Hotline, the Rape Prevention and Education Programs and otherviolence against women programs.  Thanks to the many phone calls and emails, they included $140 million in funding for FVPSA - a $10 million increase over FY '10 funding!
