Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2018 14044
The OVC FY 2018 Improving Outcomes for Child and Youth Victims of Human Trafficking grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2018 14044) is a discretionary U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) program offered through a cooperative agreement. Its overall purpose is to strengthen how states and tribal jurisdictions identify, assist, and protect child and youth victims of both sex trafficking and labor trafficking, while also improving the investigation and prosecution of trafficking cases involving minors. The program is structured around two distinct categories: one focused on planning and strategy development at the state or tribal jurisdiction level, and another focused on nationwide training and technical assistance to support the entire cohort of OVC-funded grantees working under this initiative.
Category 1 is aimed at state governments and tribal jurisdictions that want to take a hard look at what is most obstructing effective responses to child and youth trafficking within their boundaries. Under this category, applicants are expected to pinpoint the biggest barriers they face in identifying victims, connecting victims to appropriate services, and pursuing trafficking cases through investigation and prosecution. The emphasis is not simply on describing problems, but on developing a practical, statewide or tribal jurisdictionwide strategy that addresses those obstacles in a coordinated way. This could include examining gaps in cross-agency coordination, victim screening and referral practices, service availability, data collection and information sharing, training needs across frontline systems, and the ways criminal justice and child-serving systems interact when trafficking is suspected. The goal is a structured plan that can guide improvements across the jurisdiction rather than isolated local fixes.
Category 2 is designed to fund a single organization or entity that will serve as a training and technical assistance provider for this OVC program. The Category 2 awardee is expected to develop and deliver training, tools, resources, and hands-on technical assistance that support both the new FY 2018 Category 1 grantees and the six grantees that were funded in prior years under the same Improving Outcomes for Child and Youth Victims of Human Trafficking initiative. In practice, this role functions like a central support hub that helps jurisdictions apply best practices, troubleshoot implementation challenges, and strengthen consistency and quality across the full portfolio of OVC-funded projects. Because this is a cooperative agreement, OVC typically maintains an active partnership role in guiding priorities, deliverables, and coordination across the program.
Funding levels are split by category. OVC anticipated making up to three awards under Category 1, with each award capped at 1,500,000 dollars, for an estimated combined total of up to 4,500,000 dollars. For Category 2, OVC anticipated one award of up to 600,000 dollars. In total, the solicitation projected four awards across both categories. The award ceiling listed for the opportunity is 1,500,000 dollars, reflecting the maximum per-award amount under Category 1.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted by the Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime, under CFDA 16.320, and it aligns with the broad funding activity areas of income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services. The solicitation was created on June 7, 2018, with an original application closing date of July 9, 2018. Eligibility is noted as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the program description makes clear that Category 1 is intended for state or tribal jurisdictions, while Category 2 is intended for an entity capable of delivering training and technical assistance at a program-wide level.
In short, this OVC solicitation is built to accomplish two complementary outcomes: first, helping states and tribes develop realistic, jurisdictionwide strategies to overcome their biggest obstacles in recognizing and responding to child and youth trafficking; and second, ensuring those jurisdictions, along with previously funded projects, have access to consistent, high-quality training and technical assistance so the field response becomes stronger, more coordinated, and more effective for young victims.Apply for OVC 2018 14044
