Description

This joint funding program will support an enhanced anti-human trafficking law enforcement task force and victim service model designed to identify, rescue, and assist foreign and domestic, adult and minor, victims of human trafficking within the United States. A total of six cooperative agreements are expected to be awarded—three awards made by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to support law enforcement agencies to coordinate the goals, objectives, and activities of the entire task force in close collaboration with the local U.S. Attorney’s Office and victim service provider partner; and three awards made by OVC to support a victim service organization to coordinate the provision of a comprehensive array of culturally and linguistically appropriate services to all trafficking victims identified within the geographic area impacted by the task force. Those applying are urged to begin the application process well in advance of the July 27, 2010 deadline.
