Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2019 15531
The OVC FY 2019 Specialized Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance and Resource Development opportunity is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), offered through cooperative agreements. Its core aim is to strengthen how communities identify, support, and serve victims of human trafficking by funding specialized training and technical assistance (often described as TTA) for key stakeholders, along with the creation of practical resources that improve both public understanding and professional practice. The program is structured around targeted topic areas so that applicants can focus on specific gaps in victim services, legal remedies, and system responses.
The solicitation has three main goals. First, it seeks to improve the quality and consistency of victim services by providing specialized TTA to the practitioners and systems that interact with trafficking survivors. In practice, that can include training, consultation, toolkits, and ongoing support for victim service providers, compensation programs, legal services, multidisciplinary task forces, and other partners who need tailored guidance on trafficking dynamics and survivor-centered responses. Second, it supports resource development tied to the 20th anniversary of the Trafficking Victim Protection Act (TVPA), with an emphasis on raising public awareness, encouraging community outreach, and producing educational activities that help communities recognize and address trafficking. Third, it calls for the development of an additional resource specifically intended to improve the response to victims of human trafficking, signaling an interest in concrete, usable products that can be adopted broadly by the field.
Applicants are invited to apply under one or more of five purpose areas, which define the specific focus of the proposed work. Purpose Area 1 centers on training and technical assistance related to crime victim compensation for trafficking victims, aiming to help programs and advocates navigate eligibility, documentation, confidentiality, and survivor access barriers so that more victims can successfully obtain compensation. Purpose Area 2 focuses on labor trafficking TTA, addressing the common reality that labor trafficking is under-identified and often misunderstood, and encouraging improved screening, victim identification, referral pathways, and service coordination. Purpose Area 3 targets TTA on state-level financial remedies for trafficking victims, which can include restitution, civil remedies, wage recovery, and other state-based avenues that may help survivors achieve stability and repair financial harm. Purpose Area 4 supports public awareness resource development specifically linked to the TVPA anniversary, with deliverables geared toward education, outreach, and community engagement rather than direct service provision alone. Purpose Area 5 funds the development of a resource on standards of care for trafficking victims, aiming to strengthen and harmonize expectations for trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and survivor-centered practice across programs and systems.
Key administrative details include an opportunity number of OVC-2019-15531 and a CFDA number of 16.320. The anticipated number of awards is five, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $850,000. The funding activity categories align with income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the program's blend of victim support, legal remedy access, and system improvement. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility section of the solicitation, which typically indicates that OVC is allowing a range of qualified organizations (often including nonprofits, training and technical assistance providers, and similar entities) depending on the details spelled out in the full announcement.
The application deadline for this opportunity was July 10, 2019, and the posting dates indicate the announcement was created on June 10, 2019. Overall, the grant is designed for organizations that can operate at a specialized, often national or multi-jurisdictional level by delivering high-quality training and technical assistance and producing field-ready resources that improve victim access to compensation and financial remedies, strengthen responses to labor trafficking, elevate public awareness tied to the TVPA milestone, and promote clear standards of care for serving trafficking survivors.Apply for OVC 2019 15531
