Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2024 171988

The OVC FY24 Services for Victims of Human Trafficking grant is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). The purpose of this solicitation is to fund service programs that support victims of all forms of human trafficking across the United States. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at strengthening and expanding victim-centered, trauma-informed services that help trafficking survivors achieve safety, stability, and recovery, regardless of the specific type of trafficking involved.

This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number O-OVC-2024-171988 and is categorized within the broader federal activity area of Income Security and Social Services (CFDA 16.320). Funding is provided through a grant instrument, meaning awarded organizations receive financial support to carry out proposed service activities and meet program goals described in their application and award terms. While the solicitation title and summary emphasize services, applicants typically frame proposals around direct assistance and coordinated supports for victims, which can include meeting urgent needs and building longer-term pathways to stability.

A wide range of applicants are eligible, reflecting OVCs intent to support local, regional, and statewide responses. Eligible entities include state, county, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; 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 allows both governmental and community-based providers to apply, including organizations with deep experience delivering survivor services as well as public-sector entities coordinating broader systems of response.

The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $950,000 per award, and OVC anticipated making about 43 awards under this solicitation. These figures suggest a competitive nationwide opportunity with a meaningful level of funding per project, supporting organizations that can demonstrate readiness, capacity, and a strong service model. The solicitation was created on February 20, 2024, and the original application closing date was April 8, 2024, which sets the formal window for submitting proposals under this funding round.

Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to expand and improve service access for trafficking victims throughout the country by investing in organizations and public entities positioned to deliver comprehensive, victim-focused support. The emphasis on "all forms" of human trafficking signals that proposals should be inclusive and responsive to varied survivor experiences and needs, rather than limited to one trafficking type or a narrow population.
