1. BASIC INFORMATION

Purpose of the Funding

The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is committed to advancing work that furthers the

U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) mission to keep our country safe and secure and uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of American citizens. OJP provides federal leadership, funding, and other critical resources to directly support law enforcement, combat violent crime, protect American children, provide services to American crime victims, and address public safety challenges, including human trafficking and the opioid crisis.

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OVC FY 2026 Preventing

Trafficking of Girls. This opportunity will support prevention and early intervention services for girls who are at risk of, or are victims of, human trafficking as defined by 22

U.S.C. § 7102(11) by funding programs to:

• Replicate and scale up prevention and early intervention programs for girls and young women who are at risk of, or are victims of, sex and/or labor trafficking.

• Implement or enhance efforts to identify and provide comprehensive and developmentally appropriate services to girls and young women who are at risk of, or are victims of, sex and/or labor trafficking. This may include street outreach efforts, partnerships with organizations that serve youth, partnerships with juvenile justice and child welfare systems, and/or collaboration with key community stakeholders.

• Participate in peer-to-peer learning opportunities.

Services may be provided to girls and young women up to and including age 25.

Applicants should address how they will be prepared to serve survivors of all types of human trafficking, including both sex trafficking and labor trafficking. See Appendix A for types of services that OVC funds.

Input From Survivors of Human Trafficking

OVC encourages applicants to propose and implement ongoing engagement with individuals who have survived human trafficking to inform their programming.

Program Requirements

Applicants that receive funding under this program will be required to:

1. Comply with 22 U.S.C. § 7115, requiring award recipients under this program to have or implement privacy and confidentiality policies and procedures that conform with the requirements of 34 U.S.C. § 12291(b)(2). Section 12291(b)(2) specifies the confidentiality and privacy condition applicable to awards under the

Violence Against Women Act of 1994, commonly referred to as the “VAWA

Confidentiality Provision.” For the purposes of this OVC program, the phrase

“under this subchapter” in the VAWA Confidentiality Provision shall be understood

U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Office for Victims of Crime | 4 as referring to “this OVC program.” Applicants that do not already have policies and procedures that comply with the VAWA Confidentiality Provision may propose to use award funds to develop these.

2. Ensure that any staff, partner staff, or service providers working with trafficking victims are licensed and trained to work with such victims.

3. Ensure that the project coordinator/program director and other relevant staff participate in any grantee orientations.

• Include only costs that are reasonable, allocable, and necessary to implement the project. They must be allowable under the funding statute and agency requirements.1

• Funding Restrictions: The following activities cannot be supported with grant funds.

o Holding Beds: Grantees may not “hold beds” in a housing facility by charging their cost to the grant and keeping them empty until a victim needs the bed when other victims need access to the beds, as this would be considered an unallowable contingency payment (see 2 C.F.R. §

200.433 (c)).

o Stipends/Incentives to Participate in Services: Neither cash nor non-cash stipends or incentives may be paid to victims to encourage their participation in services.

o Savings Accounts for Victims: Federal funds cannot be invested in savings accounts for victims.
