What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

The goal of this program is to assist state, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies in developing or enhancing victim specialist programs that connect victims and families to much-needed services. Awards will be made under four purpose areas based on the type of law enforcement agency (small, mid-size, large, or tribal). Priority will be given to applicants that: (1) address specific challenges that rural communities face, (2) serve high-poverty areas or persistent-poverty counties, or (3) offer enhancements to public safety in economically distressed communities (Qualified Opportunity Zones). OVC will conduct a pre-application webinar on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. e.t. Register at www.ovc.gov/grants/webinars.html. Apply by April 20, 2020.
