Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2013 Transitional Housing Assistance Grants for Victims of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), designed to help communities provide safe, stable transitional housing and related services for survivors. The central goal is to support a holistic, victim-centered approach that does not just offer a temporary place to stay, but helps survivors move toward long-term safety and permanent housing. The program recognizes that survivors have different risks, barriers, and priorities, so it emphasizes flexible services and survivor choice rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Funding under this program is intended for organizations and governments that can deliver transitional housing, short-term housing assistance, and a broad range of supportive services connected to housing stability and recovery. OVW frames successful transitional housing programs as those that are adaptable and responsive to individual needs. Examples of supportive services highlighted in the announcement include counseling, support groups, safety planning, and advocacy, along with practical assistance that often makes the difference in whether someone can maintain stable housing. Practical supports may include licensed child care, employment-related services, transportation vouchers, phone access, and referrals to other community agencies. Programs may also use trained staff and case managers to help survivors set goals, navigate systems, and take concrete steps toward obtaining and keeping permanent housing.
In terms of basic grant details, the funding opportunity number is OVW 2013 3403, and it is listed under CFDA 16.736 (Transitional Housing Assistance for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking, or Sexual Assault). OVW anticipated making about 60 awards under this solicitation. The estimated total funding amount listed in the source data is 300,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The award floor is listed as 0, which typically indicates that a minimum award amount is not specified in the posting and that actual award sizes may vary depending on the final awards and budget review.
Eligible applicants include a wide set of public and nonprofit entities that commonly operate housing and victim services programs. Specifically, eligibility includes nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), city or township governments, county governments, state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments, and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. This broad eligibility is meant to accommodate different community models, including nonprofit-led service systems, government-operated housing initiatives, and collaborations where institutions such as public universities may play a role in providing coordinated services.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted on February 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 4, 2013, and an archive date of May 4, 2013. The opportunity category is discretionary, and the funding instrument type is a grant. The activity category is listed as housing, with a clarification noting the program focus areas of violence against women, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
The notice also includes an important application submission update tied to a SAM.gov outage affecting entity registration and updates at the time. Because the Entity Management component of SAM.gov was experiencing an outage, OVW stated it would accept applications not only through Grants.gov, but also through the DOJ Grants Management System (GMS) for applicants unable to complete SAM-related steps. Applicants were directed to submit via GMS at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/gmsexternal/, and OVW emphasized that the closing date would remain unchanged despite the technical issue.
