Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Domestic Violence Shelter Renovation - Kakheti" is a U.S. Department of State-funded project managed through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) at the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, focused on continuing renovation work for a domestic violence shelter in Georgia's Kakheti region. The shelter is intended to function as a short-term residential facility where survivors of domestic violence and their children can stay while longer-term relocation plans are arranged. The center is designed to accommodate up to five families at a time, with stays lasting up to 90 days, providing a secure temporary refuge for people fleeing violent or threatening situations.
The project scope is centered on construction and renovation. The renovation effort itself is not starting from scratch; it is meant to continue work previously undertaken by the State Fund for the Protection and Assistance of Victims. The goal is to complete improvements that make the building and its surrounding grounds (the curtilage) safe, comfortable, and suitable for survivors and children. In addition to private living arrangements for families, the planned facility layout includes shared and operational spaces that support day-to-day living and service delivery, including a large kitchen and dining area, administrative office space, a social services office, a reception room, a family room, a small warehouse/storage area, and guard quarters. The emphasis is clearly on creating a functioning shelter environment that balances safety, privacy, and the ability to provide supportive services on site.
Funding for the award is set at a fixed amount, with both the floor and ceiling listed as $155,000, and the agency expects to make one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide additional funds to qualify, although the announcement notes that the grant amount is not expected to cover every desired improvement. Because of that limitation, the opportunity indicates that a priority list of improvements exists, signaling that proposals should likely focus on the most critical renovation needs first and demonstrate a realistic approach to delivering the highest-impact upgrades within the available budget.
Eligibility is limited to international and Georgian nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations with demonstrated expertise in building construction and renovation, specifically within the Georgian regulatory environment. Applicants are expected to show knowledge of Georgia's building and safety codes and provide evidence of successful past construction projects completed on time, within budget, and in compliance with those codes. In practice, that means the competition is aimed at organizations that can credibly manage a construction-renovation project from planning through execution, including contractor oversight, compliance documentation, scheduling, and quality control, with a track record that reduces risk for the funder.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "DOSGEO 15 GR 005 GEO 070115" and is categorized as a discretionary grant under a construction/renovation activity type. It was posted on July 2, 2015, with an application closing date of August 1, 2015, and an archive date of August 31, 2015. The listed contact for access issues or questions is Michael Turner, INL Senior Police Advisor at the U.S. Embassy Tbilisi, with a business phone number provided in the notice.
