Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2022 171328
The OVC FY 2022 Enhancing Access to Victim Services grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), offered through a cooperative agreement. Its central aim is to reduce practical and systemic barriers that keep certain crime victims from reporting crimes or getting help after they have been harmed. The program is rooted in the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) broader priorities around civil rights and racial equity, increasing access to justice, strengthening community safety, and building trust between communities and the justice system. In practice, this solicitation focuses on making victim services more accessible, more inclusive, and more effective for people who are disabled, Deaf, hard-of-hearing, limited English proficient (LEP), blind, and/or visually impaired.
The funding is intended to expand and improve victim-centered, trauma-informed services that are accessible in real-world settings. That includes making sure communication and service delivery actually work for the populations named in the solicitation, such as providing accommodations and accessible formats for people who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing, ensuring services are navigable for people who are blind or visually impaired, and addressing language barriers for LEP victims so they can understand their options and engage with services safely. The overarching idea is to make access routine rather than exceptional, so victims do not have to overcome extra hurdles just to get basic support, information, or advocacy.
OVC plans to use this solicitation in three connected ways. First, it will fund direct services that are specifically designed or adapted to be accessible for these victims, with an emphasis on trauma-informed and victim-centered approaches. Second, it will provide dedicated training and technical assistance (TTA) to victim-serving organizations to help them develop and implement accessibility plans, meaning structured, actionable approaches to improving accessibility across policies, procedures, staffing, communications, and physical or digital service environments. Third, OVC wants to identify innovative service models and promising approaches that can be replicated elsewhere, so successful strategies can be adapted and scaled across the victim services field rather than remaining isolated examples.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number O-OVC-2022-171328) falls under the CFDA listing 16.582 and is categorized within Income Security and Social Services. The solicitation was posted May 6, 2022, with an original closing date of June 29, 2022. Awards were expected to be made to about 11 recipients, with an award ceiling of up to $1,000,000 per award. Because it is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect a more collaborative relationship with OVC than a standard grant, typically involving ongoing federal involvement such as coordination, shared planning, or participation in TTA, reporting, and program development activities.
Eligible applicants are broad and include county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), along with other entities as allowed by the solicitation’s additional eligibility guidance. Overall, the opportunity is designed for organizations that either already deliver victim services or are positioned to expand accessible victim services in partnership with relevant communities, while also contributing to field-wide learning about what works to improve access for victims with disabilities, sensory disabilities, and language access needs.Apply for O OVC 2022 171328
