Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2010 Safe Havens Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2010 2453) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The purpose of the program is to help communities create, expand, or improve supervised visitation services and safe exchange (also described as monitored exchange) arrangements for children and families where there is a history or risk of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or child abuse. In practical terms, the program is meant to make court-ordered visitation and custody exchanges safer by reducing opportunities for intimidation, coercion, further violence, or child endangerment during parent-child contact or parent-to-parent handoffs.
Funding under this opportunity is provided through cooperative agreements, which generally means OVW expects a higher level of involvement than with a standard grant, such as programmatic coordination, federal oversight, and collaboration around implementation expectations. The funding activity focus is categorized as “Other,” clarified specifically as supervised visitation and monitored/safe exchanges. The CFDA listing associated with this program is 16.527, titled “Supervised Visitation, Safe Havens for Children,” which signals the program’s long-standing federal role in supporting structured, safety-centered visitation services.
The announcement anticipated making approximately 30 awards, with an award ceiling of $650,000 per award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. Key dates included a posted date of January 25, 2010, and an application closing deadline of March 10, 2010 (with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date). The opportunity was later archived on April 9, 2010, indicating that the application window had closed and the posting was retained for recordkeeping.
Eligible applicants were limited to government entities, specifically state governments, city or township governments, county governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. This eligibility structure reflects the program’s emphasis on public-sector capacity to coordinate with courts, victim service providers, child welfare stakeholders, and community-based partners to create safe, consistent, and accountable visitation and exchange services. While the summary description does not list required project components, the central intent is clear: to ensure children can maintain parent-child contact when appropriate and ordered, while prioritizing survivor safety and child wellbeing in cases where family violence and abuse are present.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the full solicitation details at the time, OVW provided an additional information link to the program PDF announcement and offered direct assistance through the OVW main line at 202-307-6026 and the email address OVW.SupervisedVisitation@usdoj.gov for help accessing the announcement or resolving submission and accessibility issues.
