Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), supports a single national effort to strengthen how human trafficking victims are identified, protected, and connected to help in the United States. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal government expects to have an active partnership role with the recipient during the project period. The overall aim is practical and immediate: make it easier for victims and the public to reach help quickly, ensure victims are referred to appropriate services, route credible and time-sensitive tips to law enforcement, and expand training and technical assistance so more professionals and community members can recognize and respond to trafficking.
At the center of the program is operation of the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC), including the national, toll-free hotline at 1-888-3737-888. The selected organization would be responsible for maintaining a 24/7/365 emergency response capability, meaning calls must be answered and handled at all times, including nights, weekends, and holidays. The hotline is expected to serve multiple types of callers: potential victims seeking help, service providers trying to support someone, law enforcement personnel looking for guidance or referrals, and members of the public who encounter a situation that may involve trafficking. Core functions include providing crisis assistance, making service referrals to appropriate social service organizations, and passing on urgent tips to the correct local, state, or federal law enforcement authorities. In addition to hotline operations, the program also emphasizes education and capacity-building through information sharing, training, and technical assistance for callers and broader stakeholders.
The announcement indicates ORR intends to make one award for a three-year period, essentially selecting one lead anti-trafficking organization to implement the hotline and related training/technical assistance work nationwide. While eligibility is described as unrestricted in the sense that many types of domestic entities may apply, the notice clearly states that individuals and foreign entities are not eligible to receive an award under this opportunity. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Funding is listed with an estimated total of $800,000, with an award ceiling of $800,000 and an award floor of $0, reflecting that the single anticipated award could be funded up to that maximum amount. The program is associated with CFDA 93.598, Services to Victims of a Severe Form of Trafficking, and is categorized under the activity area of Income Security and Social Services. Because only one award is expected, the competition is designed to identify one organization capable of operating a national-scale hotline and delivering consistent, high-quality referrals, law enforcement tip routing, and training/technical assistance.
ORR also signals preference for applicants with substantial, relevant experience. Priority consideration may be given to organizations that can demonstrate at least five years of experience identifying and assisting both sex and labor trafficking victims, along with at least three years of experience handling human trafficking-related crisis calls, making victim service referrals, providing tips to law enforcement, and delivering training and technical assistance on trafficking. This experience emphasis highlights that the program is looking for an established operator with proven capacity, not a new or untested startup effort.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2010-ACF-ORR-ZV-0025 and a posting date of June 10, 2010. The application deadline was extended, with the current closing date set to July 27, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and the notice stresses that electronic submissions through Grants.gov must be in by that exact time. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating submission issues, the contact listed is the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The full announcement was made available through ACF, with an archive date of August 26, 2010.
