With this solicitation, OVC seeks applications for funding under the FY 2023 VOCA Victim Assistance Formula Grant Program.
This program furthers the Department’s mission by providing grants to support the provision of services to victims of crime throughout the nation.
OVC encourages SAAs to use VOCA funding within program parameters to affirmatively advance equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity.
In line with these goals, OVC particularly encourages SAAs to include American Indian and Alaska Native tribes in program planning and funding.
