Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2017 11575
The OVC FY 17 Enhanced Collaborative Model to Combat Human Trafficking Competitive Solicitation (Opportunity No. OVC 2017 11575) is a discretionary Department of Justice funding opportunity, administered by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), to strengthen multidisciplinary human trafficking task forces operating in the United States. The core intent is to build or enhance coordinated, team-based responses that can address all forms of trafficking, including both sex trafficking and labor trafficking, and serve victims who may be foreign nationals or U.S. citizens, across all genders and ages. The program emphasizes that trafficking cases are rarely solved by one agency working alone, so it prioritizes formal collaboration between law enforcement, prosecutors, victim service providers, and other community and systems-based partners.
A central focus of the solicitation is the creation of victim-centered, collaborative, and sustainable strategies for identifying trafficking victims, investigating trafficking crimes, and supporting prosecution efforts at local, state, tribal, and federal levels. The task force model is expected to improve day-to-day coordination such as screening and identification practices, joint investigative approaches, information sharing protocols, and referral pathways that connect victims to help quickly and safely. Just as important, the model is designed to ensure that victims receive individualized, high-quality services that reflect the complexity of trafficking victimization, including urgent needs (such as safety planning and emergency shelter) and longer-term stabilization and recovery supports (such as case management, counseling, legal services, and other wraparound assistance).
Funding is structured so that each task force region is supported by two separate but tightly coordinated awards: one award goes to a lead law enforcement agency and the other goes to a lead victim service provider. Applicants on the law enforcement side and the victim services side must submit separate applications, but those applications are expected to be aligned and mutually reinforcing, describing a shared plan for how the task force will operate and how resources will be used together over a 3-year project period. The solicitation makes clear that the task force approach must be undertaken in coordination with key partners, including the U.S. Attorneys Office (USAO), local prosecutors offices, and relevant local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, along with community-based and system-based service providers.
The total combined funding for the two awards supporting a single task force may not exceed $1.5 million across the project, which is intended to balance robust support with an expectation of sustainability and coordinated use of resources. The listed award ceiling in the source data is $900,000, reflecting that each individual award has its own upper limit, while the task force as a whole is capped at $1.5 million when the law enforcement and victim service awards are considered together. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should anticipate ongoing federal involvement and collaboration in carrying out the project, rather than a purely hands-off grant structure.
Administrative details in the posting indicate the opportunity falls under CFDA 16.320 and aligns with program areas tied to income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the program's dual emphasis on victim support and criminal justice outcomes. The opportunity was created January 4, 2017, with an original closing date of February 27, 2017. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the solicitation's eligibility section, signaling that specific types of entities (particularly lead law enforcement agencies and lead victim service organizations) would need to consult the full announcement to confirm they meet the requirements.
Overall, the solicitation is designed to fund practical, on-the-ground partnerships that can both increase the identification of trafficking victims and improve the quality and coordination of services and investigations. It treats victim safety and recovery as inseparable from effective enforcement, expecting task forces to show how they will build durable, collaborative systems that work across agencies and jurisdictions to combat trafficking comprehensively.Apply for OVC 2017 11575
