Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2024 172059
The OVC FY24 VOCA Victim Assistance Formula Grant is a federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), administered by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It is designed to support victim service programs across the country by providing formula-based grant funds that help ensure victims of crime can access essential services in their communities. The overall purpose aligns with DOJ and OJP priorities around strengthening community safety, improving access to justice, supporting people impacted by the justice system, protecting the public from crime and emerging threats, and building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
This solicitation specifically seeks applications for FY 2024 funding under the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Victim Assistance Formula Grant Program (CFDA 16.575). The focus is on funding services for crime victims nationwide, including states as well as U.S. territories and possessions. While the grant is described as a discretionary opportunity in the source data, the program operates as a formula grant, meaning funds are allocated based on a statutory or administrative formula rather than purely competitive scoring. The expectation is that state administering agencies (SAAs) will receive and manage these funds and then distribute them to local providers and programs that deliver direct services to victims.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is advancing civil rights, equity, justice, and equal opportunity through the use of VOCA funds, within the boundaries of program rules. OVC encourages SAAs to intentionally use VOCA funding to expand fair access to services and to reduce barriers that prevent victims from getting help. The solicitation also calls out the importance of inclusive planning and funding decisions, with a particular encouragement for SAAs to include American Indian and Alaska Native tribes in program planning and in how funding is directed. In practice, that signals an expectation that states will engage tribes as stakeholders and consider victim service needs in tribal communities as part of their overall VOCA strategy.
Key administrative details from the listing include the funding opportunity title "OVC FY24 VOCA Victim Assistance Formula Grant" and the opportunity number "O-OVC-2024-172059." The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the victim assistance service orientation of the program. Eligible applicants are primarily state governments, with "others" also noted in the eligibility field, consistent with the way VOCA funding is administered through state-level agencies that may then subaward to a wide range of local public and nonprofit providers. The anticipated number of awards is 56, which corresponds to the states and eligible jurisdictions such as territories. The original application closing date was May 21, 2024, and the award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates there is no single fixed maximum award amount because allocations depend on the formula and the total funding available for that fiscal year.
Overall, the grant supports a national infrastructure for victim services by resourcing state administering agencies to coordinate and fund direct assistance efforts. The program is framed not only as a way to sustain and expand services for victims of crime, but also as a vehicle for states and territories to strengthen equity and access, uphold civil rights, and improve the justice system response for underserved and historically marginalized communities, including tribal communities.Apply for O OVC 2024 172059
