Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2019 15624
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), within the U.S. Department of Justice, offered a discretionary funding opportunity in FY 2019 called "Field-Generated Solutions for Tribal and Non-Tribal Communities to Improve Services for Victims of Crime" (Funding Opportunity Number: OVC-2019-15624; CFDA: 16.582). The central aim of the program was to strengthen support for victims of crime by identifying and closing practical service gaps in communities, with an emphasis on solutions that come directly from the field. In other words, OVC was looking for applicants to propose real-world innovations that can improve how victims are reached, served, and supported, particularly where existing systems are falling short.
Funding under this solicitation was to be provided through cooperative agreements, which typically means the awardee would carry out the project with more substantial federal involvement than a standard grant (for example, closer coordination, shared planning expectations, or ongoing collaboration with OVC). The opportunity fell under the broad activity areas of income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services, reflecting that victim assistance often involves both direct support (such as advocacy, counseling, and crisis services) and justice-system processes (such as restitution and case-related support). The posted maximum award amount was up to $800,000 per award (award ceiling: $800,000). The eligible applicant category was listed as "Others," with the solicitation directing interested parties to review the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section for the specific types of organizations permitted to apply.
Applicants were invited to submit proposals under one or more of five purpose areas, giving the solicitation a menu of problem areas where OVC wanted targeted innovation. Purpose Area 1 focused on innovative programs designed to fill gaps in tribal crime victim services, signaling a priority for approaches tailored to tribal communities and the unique access, jurisdictional, cultural, and resource challenges that may affect victims there. Purpose Area 2 centered on innovations in telehealth, which points to using remote service delivery to expand access to care and support, especially for victims who face barriers such as distance, safety concerns, limited transportation, disability, or lack of local specialized providers. Purpose Area 3 aimed to improve responses to victims of burglary, a crime type that can leave victims needing safety planning, trauma-informed support, help navigating insurance or property issues, and clearer connections to victim services that are often more developed for violent crime. Purpose Area 4 targeted improvements in the ordering and collecting of restitution for victims, emphasizing the practical and procedural side of helping victims recover financial losses by strengthening how restitution is pursued, ordered by the court, tracked, and actually collected. Purpose Area 5 served as a broader category for other innovative programs to fill gaps in crime victim services, allowing applicants to propose strong ideas that did not fit neatly into the first four areas but still clearly advanced victim support and system improvements.
Key dates were clearly set. The funding opportunity was created on June 17, 2019, and OVC scheduled a pre-application webinar for June 25, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with registration provided through OVC's webinar page (www.ovc.gov/grants/webinars.html). The application deadline was July 24, 2019 (original closing date), giving prospective applicants a little over a month from the posting date to develop and submit proposals. Overall, the solicitation communicated that OVC was seeking practical, innovative, and community-informed strategies that could measurably improve services for victims of crime across both tribal and non-tribal settings, with flexibility for applicants to address one or multiple problem areas depending on their expertise and local needs.Apply for OVC 2019 15624
