    • Improve the quality and quantity of evidence-based and trauma-informed services for victims of human trafficking.
    • Increase the capacity of mental health and victim service providers to implement evidence-based trauma interventions and other trauma-informed services.
    • Provide direct services for all human trafficking victims.
  • Addressing Barriers to Identifying and Assisting Labor Trafficking Victims
    • Support community capacity to identify and assist victims of labor trafficking, across all disciplines, through a victim-centered and collaborative approach.
    • Address individual needs of labor trafficking victims through the provision of a comprehensive array of services.
    • Provide direct services for labor trafficking victims, addressing barriers that inhibit the identification and reporting of labor trafficking.

Award Information

  • OVC expects to make up to six awards (three per purpose area) of up to $600,000 each, with an estimated total amount awarded of up to $3.6 million.
  • OVC expects to make awards for a 36- month period of performance to begin on October 1, 2018.

Eligibility Criteria

  • By statute, grants under this program may be awarded to states, units of local government, federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior), nonprofit organizations (defined as an organization that is described in section 501(c)(3) of Title 26 and is exempt from taxation under 501(a) of such title), and nongovernmental organizations (including tribal nonprofits).
