Opportunity Summary:
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is offering an invited, non-competitive funding opportunity under its FY 2026 Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) specifically connected to a crisis event in Traverse City, Michigan. The purpose of this funding is to provide rapid, supplemental support for victims affected by an incident of mass criminal violence or domestic terrorism when the scale and impact of the event are beyond what the local jurisdiction can reasonably handle with its existing resources, especially while still meeting the needs of victims of other crimes. AEAP funding is designed to help communities close urgent service gaps that appear after extraordinary events, with an emphasis on improving victim services, victim compensation access, and overall victim outcomes.
This opportunity is funded through the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve (often referred to as the Emergency Reserve). In addition to possible training and consultation services that are not delivered as grants, AEAP includes four grant purpose areas that can be requested together in a single application or issued separately depending on what OVC authorizes and what the incident requires. These purpose areas include crisis response (immediate victim-centered services and supports following the incident), consequence management (longer-term coordination and recovery-related victim services), criminal justice support (victim-related needs tied to investigative and prosecutorial processes and associated victim participation), and crime victim compensation (supplemental funding intended to ensure eligible victims can access compensation benefits when costs surge or administrative demands spike due to the event). The overarching AEAP goal is to add capacity quickly and strategically, not to replace routine victim-service funding streams.
OVC notes that AEAP is generally reserved for incidents that are unusually large or uniquely impactful for the affected locality, particularly where victimization was unpredictable, indiscriminate, broadly targeted, or otherwise involved a distinctive aspect that makes the event exceptional. At the same time, OVC signals that more predictable patterns of violence such as ongoing gang-related violence, domestic violence, or broader community gun violence are ordinarily expected to be addressed through existing VOCA-funded systems and local planning rather than through AEAP emergency reserve dollars. In other words, AEAP is positioned as an extraordinary, supplemental response tool for extraordinary events.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant (CFDA 16.321) issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime. It is not open to the public and is not competitive: only the entity OVC invites is eligible to apply, and OVC will initiate contact with the potential applicant directly. The funding opportunity number is O-OVC-2026-172712. The application deadline listed is August 27, 2026, and OVC anticipates making a single award. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $918,236.
