OVC Announces Funding to Support Services for Victims of Human Trafficking

The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) has announced that it is now accepting applications under the Services for Victims of Human Trafficking solicitation.

The primary goal of this program is to enhance the quality and quantity of services available to assist victims of human trafficking, as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. Funding will support the provision of high-quality services that address the individual needs of trafficking victims, interagency collaboration and the enhancement of a coordinated community response to victims of human trafficking. This competitive program will award cooperative agreements, ranging from $200,000 to $500,000, for 24-month projects based on one of the following program areas:

Program Area 1: Comprehensive Services for All Victims of Human Trafficking: Award amounts between $300,000 and $500,000 will support the provision of services based on the OVC Comprehensive Service Model outlined within the solicitation. This program area ensures that a wide array of services will be made available to victims of sex trafficking and labor trafficking (including foreign nationals and U.S. citizens, males and females, adults and minors) through a coordinated community approach.

Program Area 2: Specialized Services for Victims of Human Trafficking: Award amounts between $200,000 and $400,000 will support the provision of a specific type of service for victims of human trafficking, services provided in specialized settings, or services targeting specific subgroups of trafficking victims. OVC will dedicate a portion of the Specialized Services funding to projects that focus on providing culturally relevant services to American Indian and/or Alaskan Native victims of human trafficking.
