About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime is soliciting applications for integrated services supporting minor victims of human trafficking, with applications due September 28, 2026. The program carries a mandatory 25-percent non-federal cost-share requirement, meaning federal funds may cover no more than 75 percent of total project costs.
Eligible applicants include state and local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations not federally recognized, public institutions of higher education, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, public housing authorities, and special district governments. The program will distribute $9,500,000 across approximately 10 awards of up to $950,000 each over a 36-month period beginning January 1, 2027. Funded projects enhance availability, quality, and delivery of services to minor victims of sex and labor trafficking as defined by 22 U.S.C. 7102(11), with services addressing safety, security, and healing for victims who began receiving services before age 18, though services may extend beyond age 18 as needed. Eligible services include information and referral, personal advocacy, emotional support, shelter and housing, criminal justice assistance, and education or employment services. Award recipients must comply with Violence Against Women Act confidentiality provisions, ensure staff are trained and licensed to work with trafficking victims, and agree not to use funds to promote prostitution.
The application narrative (maximum 8 pages) is weighted as follows: need (5 percent), project goals and objectives (15 percent), project design and implementation (35 percent), organizational capabilities (30 percent), and budget (15 percent). Applicants seeking priority consideration may emphasize projects supporting law enforcement, combating violent crime, serving American citizens, protecting children, or assisting trafficking victims. The SF-424 form is due to Grants.gov by September 28, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET, with the complete application due to JustGrants by October 5, 2026, at 8:59 p.m. ET. The program is assigned CFDA 16.320.
