Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 16 Comprehensive Services for Victims of All Forms of Human Trafficking grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: OVC 2016 9291) is a discretionary program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime (USDOJ-OJP-OVC). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients can generally expect an ongoing, collaborative relationship with OVC during the project period rather than a purely hands-off award.
The core purpose of the program is to expand both the quality and the availability of victim services for people who have experienced human trafficking, as that term is defined in the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, as amended. The solicitation emphasizes two connected strategies: first, strengthening interagency collaboration and building a coordinated community response so victims do not have to navigate disconnected systems on their own; and second, delivering high-quality, victim-centered services that are tailored to each person s circumstances and needs. In practical terms, the program is aimed at improving how communities identify trafficking victims, connect them to help quickly, and provide sustained support that addresses safety, stability, and recovery.
A key feature of this funding is that it is intentionally broad in terms of whom it serves. Awards are meant to support comprehensive services for all forms of trafficking, including both sex trafficking and labor trafficking. The program also explicitly includes victims across immigration and citizenship categories (foreign national, U.S. citizen, and legal permanent resident), across age groups (adults and minors), across genders (male and female), and includes LGBTQ victims. This framing signals that applicants should be prepared to serve diverse populations and design services that are accessible, culturally responsive, and appropriate for different victim experiences, including those that are often under-identified such as labor trafficking and trafficking involving men and LGBTQ individuals.
In addition to direct services, the opportunity supports work that raises a community s overall capacity to respond effectively to trafficking. The solicitation highlights building interagency partnerships, delivering professional training, and conducting public awareness activities. This points to a model where service providers do not operate in isolation; instead, they coordinate with partners such as law enforcement, prosecutors, healthcare providers, child welfare, immigration legal services, shelters, workforce agencies, and community based organizations, with the goal of reducing gaps in service delivery and improving referrals and outcomes.
The program is targeted to victim service organizations that can show a demonstrated history of serving trafficking victims, reflecting an expectation that grantees already have relevant expertise, community credibility, and the infrastructure needed to provide intensive and complex services. Eligibility is listed as Others with additional clarification referenced in the original notice, which typically means applicants should closely review the eligibility section in the full solicitation to confirm organizational fit and any restrictions.
Key logistics include an application closing date of May 2, 2016 (original and current), an award ceiling of $750,000, and an expectation of around 10 awards. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 16.320, and the activity categories align with income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the intersection of victim assistance with legal and system responses. The opportunity was created and posted on March 16, 2016, and the program is positioned as a national effort to improve coordinated, comprehensive support for trafficking victims through experienced service organizations and stronger community wide collaboration.
