The FY 2021 OVW National Service Line for Incarcerated Survivors of Sexual Abuse Solicitation is now available.

There are thousands of victims of sexual abuse in prisons and jails across the country, and insufficient services to meet their needs. This one-time funding opportunity, issued through a partnership between OVW and BJA, seeks to explore the development of a National Service Line to ensure quality services to previously or currently incarcerated survivors of sexual abuse.

Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations, victim service providers, and universities/institutions of higher education. Eligible applicants, including partners, must have expertise and experience working at the national level on projects related to corrections, the provision of services for survivors of sexual abuse, and implementation of the PREA Standards.

 

The project period is 24 months and $600K is available in funding.

 

The application deadline is September 1, 2021.

 

OVW and BJA will host a pre-application webinar on July 21, 2021 to answer questions about this unique funding opportunity. To register, email: Lucille.Moran@usdoj.gov
