Expired Funding Opportunities

OVC seeks applications for funding to develop a toolkit for serving transgender victims of crime. The goal of this project is to update and expand upon the previously released 2014 OVC guide, Responding to Transgender Victims of Sexual Assault.

OVC seeks applications for funding to support housing assistance for victims of all forms of human trafficking throughout the United States. Rapid Rehousing—a type of housing assistance in which supportive services and transitional housing are provided to assist victims to move as quickly as possible into permanent housing and achieve stability—is the primary focus of this solicitation.

The purpose of this program is to develop, expand, or strengthen a multidisciplinary approach to fight human trafficking. This collaborative approach must include victim and social service providers, law enforcement and prosecution personnel, survivors, and a range of other governmental and non-governmental partners that work together to provide a diverse set of appropriate services for trafficking victims.

This is a proposal to conduct an implementation study during the third year of the Child Fatalities demonstration initiative. In FY2019- OVC launched the demonstration initiative Reducing Child Fatalities and Recurring Child Injuries Caused by Crime Victimization. It is a demonstration initiative which requires a national evaluation. However, the previous leadership removed the funding for the national evaluator. The TA provider was able to secure foundation funding during years 1 and 2 to understand some lessons learned by the sites during the planning phase and early implementation.

The overarching goal of this program is to increase the quantity and quality of victim-centered services available to assist American Indian and Alaska Native victims of human trafficking in urban areas. This will be accomplished by developing the capacity of urban Indian centers to meet victims’ needs by providing a comprehensive range of services either in-house or through referrals to a network of collaborative partners.

OVC seeks to provide funding to organizations that demonstrate innovative strategies to create, expand, or enhance the use of technology to—

• interact directly with crime victims,

The Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) is a mechanism by which the Director of OVC may award supplemental crime victim compensation and assistance to respond to an act of domestic terrorism or mass criminal violence. The criminal act has to be of sufficient magnitude that the jurisdiction cannot provide needed services to victims of the incident with existing resources and it places an undue financial hardship on the jurisdiction’s ability to respond to victims of other crimes in a timely and comprehensive manner.
