2021 OVW stop formula grant program

This 2021 formula grant award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women totals $2,625,033 under the Violence Against Women Formula Grants (CFDA 16.588) program. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety will use the funding over two years to support direct victim services and systems change projects delivered through 11 sub-awards. Sub-grantees Mending the Sacred Hoop, Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, Support Within Reach, and others will provide services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Hennepin County, Ramsey County, and tribal governments will lead efforts to strengthen law enforcement and prosecution responses through justice system collaboration initiatives. This place-based funding advances the federal program's goal of developing effective strategies to combat violence against women at the state and local levels.
