Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Enhanced Training and Services to End Abuse in Later Life Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), designed to strengthen the community response to violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation affecting older victims. The focus is specifically on victims who are 50 years of age or older, and it addresses a range of harms that often intersect in later life, including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, as well as other forms of elder abuse such as neglect and financial exploitation. The core idea behind the program is to build or improve practical, on-the-ground training and victim services so that agencies and service providers can identify abuse earlier, respond more effectively, and coordinate better across systems that older victims frequently have to navigate.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect a more active partnership with OVW compared to a standard grant, often including structured collaboration, federal involvement in certain program components, and clearer expectations around implementation and reporting. The funding activity aligns with income security and social services and with law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the reality that older victims may need both protective interventions (such as legal advocacy, protection orders, and law enforcement response) and stabilizing supports (such as access to benefits, safe housing options, and services that reduce dependency on an abusive caregiver or partner).
For FY 2014, OVW estimated a total of $3,000,000 available under this program, with an award ceiling of $400,000 per award and an expectation of about 8 awards nationwide. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can lower the barrier to participation for coalitions and partnering organizations that may not have flexible funds available. The opportunity was posted on December 12, 2013, and closed on February 5, 2014, with an archive date of March 7, 2014. The program is associated with CFDA number 16.528, titled Enhanced Training and Services to End Violence and Abuse of Women Later in Life.
Eligibility centered on state, tribal, or territorial domestic violence or sexual assault coalitions, which positions these entities as the primary applicants responsible for organizing statewide or jurisdiction-wide strategy, partnerships, and capacity-building. The broader eligibility categories listed for the solicitation include state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized governments), and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education). In practice, the coalition-based eligibility language signals that applicants were expected to be the recognized coalition entities for their jurisdiction, with the capacity to convene partners and deliver training and technical assistance at scale.
Programmatically, the grant is aimed at improving how communities recognize and respond to abuse in later life, especially where older survivors face unique barriers such as isolation, disability or health-related dependence, limited mobility, language access challenges, fear of losing housing or caregiving support, or concerns about being placed in an institution. Training and services supported under this program typically emphasize cross-training and coordinated community response models, bringing together victim service providers, adult protective services, law enforcement, prosecutors, civil legal services, courts, healthcare providers, and aging services networks. The intent is to reduce gaps where cases fall between systems, such as when domestic violence dynamics are misclassified as general elder neglect, or when financial exploitation is addressed without fully considering coercion, threats, stalking, or intimate partner abuse.
The administering agency was the Office on Violence Against Women. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Janice A. Green at 202-616-6728 or Janice.A.Green@usdoj.gov.
