Opportunity Summary:
The National Human Trafficking Hotline, Training, and Technical Assistance Program is a federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Its central goal is to strengthen how human trafficking is identified and addressed across the United States by making it easier for victims and community members to get help, by connecting victims to services quickly, by routing credible tips to law enforcement, and by providing reliable public information about trafficking. In practice, ORR intends for one primary awardee to serve as the national hub for trafficking-related intake, referrals, and capacity-building support for stakeholders nationwide.
The work is organized around three core functions. First, the awardee must operate the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) as a 24/7 national telephone hotline. This hotline is expected to serve as a constant access point for victims seeking help, service providers looking for guidance, and members of the public reporting concerns, while ensuring that information can be escalated appropriately when law enforcement involvement is needed. Second, the awardee must implement and maintain the NHTRC website as a national-facing platform for anti-trafficking resources, including educational materials and training opportunities. Third, the awardee must deliver training and technical assistance to anti-trafficking stakeholders through multiple formats, including distance consultation, in-person training, and web-based training. Taken together, these components are meant to improve real-time response (hotline), improve access to consistent information and tools (website), and improve the overall field capacity to identify and support victims (training and technical assistance).
ORR emphasizes that applicants must demonstrate both expert capacity and a clear project plan for the entire project period, specifically addressing how they will run the hotline and provide training and technical assistance at a national level. Because the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, the relationship is typically more collaborative than a standard grant, with the federal agency likely to have substantial involvement in guiding or coordinating major elements of the work, aligning efforts with national priorities, and ensuring that the hotline and training functions meet program expectations.
Funding for the opportunity is estimated at $800,000 in total, with an award ceiling of $800,000 and an award floor of $400,000. ORR expects to make one award. 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. The program is listed under CFDA 93.598, Services to Victims of a Severe Form of Trafficking, and falls within the broader activity area of income security and social services.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic entities: nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special district governments, and independent school districts), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and other tribal organizations. Institutions of higher education (public and private) are also eligible, as are for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits). Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly eligible if they meet the stated requirements. At the same time, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this announcement.
Key dates reflect the original posting and application window for this specific solicitation. The opportunity was posted on May 31, 2013, with an application deadline of July 30, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
