Office for Victims of Crime

Description

OVC seeks to assist state, local, and tribal jurisdictions in more effectively responding to and combatting all forms of human trafficking, as defined by 22 USC 7102, by collaborating with the field to identify, develop, and build a set of innovative training and technical assistance (TTA) resources that can be used to address gaps in knowledge and training, strengthen programming, build capacity, solve problems, and model new approaches. Applications under this program should not duplicate other OJP-funded solicitations and should have the potential to broadly benefit the field. This grant announcement does not solicit applications from individual jurisdictions to fund state or local anti-human trafficking efforts. TTA providers under this solicitation are expected to coordinate with other OVC-funded TTA programs that offer a range of services to support victims of human trafficking and multidisciplinary task forces.

• Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
