What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
The purpose of the Enhanced Collaborative Model to Combat Human Trafficking Program is to support the development and enhancement of multidisciplinary human trafficking task forces that implement collaborative approaches to combat all forms of human traffickingâÂÂsex trafficking and labor traffickingâÂÂof foreign nationals and U.S. citizens (of all sexes and ages) within the United States. OVC and BJA intend for funding through this program to be used to assist communities in developing effective and sustainable multidisciplinary task forces that will implement victim-centered and coordinated approaches to identifying victims of all types of human trafficking, addressing the individualized needs of victims through quality services, and
investigating and prosecuting human trafficking cases at the local, state, tribal, and federal levels.
Through this solicitation, OVC and BJA will make awards to support law enforcement and victim service provider efforts within human trafficking task forces. Within each geographic region covered by a task force, two separate awards will be madeâÂÂone to a lead law enforcement entity and one to a lead victim service provider.
