Opportunity Summary:
The Rescue Restore Victims of Human Trafficking Regional Program is a federal grant opportunity administered by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It is designed to strengthen local and regional responses to human trafficking by improving the identification of foreign nationals who are victims of severe forms of trafficking and ensuring those individuals are quickly referred to appropriate protection and assistance. The program builds on the earlier HHS Rescue Restore Victims of Human Trafficking Campaign, which focused on establishing and energizing community-based anti-trafficking coalitions, and it aims to expand that groundwork by supporting organizations that can serve as a central regional hub for victim identification and coordinated action.
At its core, the program funds regional “focal points†that actively help communities find and support foreign trafficking victims as defined under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. Rather than focusing only on public messaging, the grant emphasizes practical, on-the-ground activities that increase the likelihood that victims will be recognized and connected to services. The expected work includes direct outreach that can reach victims where they may be found, along with training and outreach to professionals and organizations likely to encounter trafficking situations. This can include people and entities such as health care providers, social service agencies, schools, community and faith-based organizations, labor and employment-related groups, legal services providers, and other local organizations positioned to notice trafficking indicators. A major expectation is that grantees will participate in and help strengthen multidisciplinary anti-trafficking coalitions or task forces, since coordinated partnerships across sectors are often what determines whether a victim is identified and safely connected to help. The program also calls for strategic public awareness activities, but framed as part of a broader identification and referral strategy rather than a standalone campaign.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency typically anticipates a more active partnership with recipients than under a standard grant. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the related CFDA listing is 93.598, Services to Victims of a Severe Form of Trafficking. ORR anticipated making about 20 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $2,200,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $50,000 to $150,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can lower the barrier for organizations that do not have large pools of unrestricted funds.
Eligibility was broad across many types of U.S.-based entities, including state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, and certain housing authorities, as well as public and private institutions of higher education. A wide range of nonprofit organizations could apply, including 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations were eligible, as were independent school districts. For-profit organizations were also eligible, including small businesses, reflecting the program’s emphasis on building practical regional capacity rather than limiting participation to a single sector. Faith-based and community organizations were explicitly included as eligible as long as they met the standard requirements, with a reference to ACF policy guidance for faith-based applicants. The announcement specifically noted that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to apply.
Key dates and administrative details reflect that this was a 2014 funding round. The opportunity was posted on March 6, 2014, with an application deadline of April 21, 2014, and electronic submissions were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The archive date was May 21, 2014. Applicants needing help accessing or submitting the application were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
