OpportunityTitle: OVC FY 2018 Field-Generated Innovations in Assistance to Victims of Human Trafficking
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: By statute, grants under this program may be awarded to states, units of local government,  federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior),  nonprofit organizations (defined as an organization that is described in section 501(c)(3) of Title  26 and is exempt from taxation under 501(a) of such title), and nongovernmental organizations  (including tribal nonprofits). For the purposes of this program, a unit of local government is any  city, county, township, town, borough, parish, village, or other general-purpose political  subdivision of a state, territory, or federally recognized Indian tribal government.  All recipients and subrecipients must forgo any profit or management fee.  OVC welcomes applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award;  however, only one entity may be the applicant. Any others must be proposed as subrecipients  (subgrantees).1 The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for  carrying out the award, including administering the funding and managing the entire program.  While the same applicant may submit separate applications under each purpose area, OVC will  only make up to three awards in each purpose area. An entity may, however, be proposed as a  subrecipient (subgrantee) in more than one application.  OVC may elect to make awards for applications submitted under this fiscal year 2018  solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on, among other considerations, the merit of the  applications and on the availability of appropriations.  Nonprofit organizations that hold money in offshore accounts for the purpose of avoiding paying  the tax described in 26 U.S.C. &#167; 511(a) are not eligible to apply.
Description: OVC seeks applications to develop or enhance promising practices, models, and programs, or apply them in innovative ways, to build the capacity of victim service providers to assist victims of human trafficking in two purpose areas. Funding under Purpose Area 1 will support the identification of promising practices and the delivery of evidence-based, trauma-informed clinical, mental health, and substance abuse services within a system of care, as clinically necessary, for victims of human trafficking. Funding under Purpose Area 2 will support implementation of innovative ideas to increase the identification of victims of labor trafficking and enhance service delivery to those victims. OVC expects to make up to six awards (three per purpose area) of up to $600,000 each. OVC will conduct one pre-application webinar on June 14, 2018, from 3:00&#150;4:00 p.m. e.t.
