OVC FY 15 Vision 21: Tribal Victim Services Resource Mapping Project

archived

OVC will make one award of up to $2,000,000 to improve access to services for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) victims of crime by cataloguing existing comprehensive services. Through this project, OVC will support the creation of a user-friendly, state-of-the-art resource that empowers victims to seek comprehensive services; support victim service providers in their efforts to expand their outreach on behalf of victims to ensure services provided reflect the myriad needs of AI/AN crime victims; and provide a clear picture of service gaps for private, federal, and state funders. Those applying are urged to begin in advance of the July 2, 2015, deadline. Pre-Application Conference Calls OVC will conduct two pre-application conference calls.
