Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2024 172092
The OVC FY24 Pilot Program for Community Based Organizations in Underserved Communities to Build Capacity and Serve Adolescent and Youth Victims of Trafficking is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). The program is designed to strengthen and expand the ability of community-based organizations operating in underserved communities to effectively support adolescent and youth survivors of human trafficking. Rather than focusing only on direct service expansion, the solicitation emphasizes capacity-building through structured mentorship as well as training and technical assistance, with the goal of helping local organizations develop the skills, systems, and partnerships needed to deliver high-quality, survivor-centered services over time.
This opportunity is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means awardees should expect an active federal partnership during the project period, including coordination with OVC and adherence to OVC-directed priorities, reporting, and technical guidance. The funding falls under the broad activity area of Income Security and Social Services and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 16.320, which is tied to victim services programming administered by OVC.
The grant is aimed at a range of applicants that commonly serve or represent underserved populations and communities. Eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This eligibility structure signals an intent to reach organizations that are already embedded in communities and are positioned to provide culturally responsive, accessible, and trauma-informed services for young people who have experienced trafficking.
From a funding and competitiveness standpoint, the solicitation anticipates making approximately four awards, with an award ceiling of $6,000,000. The original closing date listed for applications was June 5, 2024, and the opportunity was created on April 19, 2024. Because the expected number of awards is limited relative to the potential applicant pool, applicants typically need to clearly demonstrate both the community need and a practical plan for building organizational capacity, including how mentorship, training, and technical assistance will translate into improved services for adolescent and youth victims.
In practical terms, the core purpose of this pilot program is to help community-based organizations in underserved areas move from limited capacity to a more sustainable, well-supported service model for trafficked youth. That can include improving internal infrastructure (policies, procedures, data and case management approaches, referral protocols, staff training, supervision and secondary trauma supports), strengthening multidisciplinary partnerships (service providers, housing programs, behavioral health, schools, child welfare, tribal entities, and victim service networks), and enhancing the organization s ability to identify and respond to the needs of trafficking survivors in developmentally appropriate ways. The emphasis on mentorship suggests OVC is looking for approaches that pair organizations with experienced guidance and ongoing hands-on support, not just one-time trainings, so that learning is applied and retained.
Overall, this solicitation is best understood as a targeted investment in local capacity: building strong, community-rooted organizations that can deliver consistent, youth-centered, and survivor-informed services to adolescent and youth victims of human trafficking in places where services have historically been limited or difficult to access.Apply for O OVC 2024 172092
