About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime (OVC) is soliciting applications through an invited-to-apply mechanism for crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and crime victim compensation grants addressing the mass violence incident in Grand Blanc, Michigan, with an application due date of August 27, 2026.
This opportunity targets the Antiterrorism Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP), which provides supplemental support to victims of mass violence and terrorism where the jurisdiction cannot address victim needs with existing resources in a timely and comprehensive manner. Eligible applicant types are those invited to apply; OVC specifies neither award ceiling nor expected number of awards in this solicitation. The period of performance is retroactive to the incident date. Funding derives from the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve (CFDA 16.321).
AEAP grants support four categories of assistance that may be combined or awarded separately: crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and crime victim compensation. The program's objective is to increase access to services and improve outcomes for mass violence and terrorism victims. OVC generally accesses AEAP funds only for incidents sufficiently large in scope for the locale, typically involving unpredictable, indiscriminate, or broad-based victim targeting or otherwise unique circumstances. OVC expects states and communities to address relatively more predictable instances of gang-related violence, domestic violence, and community gun violence through existing VOCA resources.
Award decisions rest with the Assistant Attorney General. Recipients must accept or decline awards within 45 days of notification in JustGrants. Unspent funds revert to the Crime Victims Fund or Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve within three fiscal years after the end of the fiscal year in which the award was made.
Synopsis
This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OVC FY 2026 Invited to Apply Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program for Crime Victim Compensation and/or Assistance. This opportunity supports victims of mass violence and terrorism through the Antiterrorism Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP). Funding for this program comes from the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve (the Emergency Reserve). Along with non-grant training and consultation services, there are four types of grants that may be combined into one application or awarded separately to entities OVC invites to apply for funding: crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and crime victim compensation. The overall goal of AEAP is to provide supplemental support to criminal mass violence and terrorism victims. The overall objective is to increase access to programs designed to improve services, assistance (including victim compensation), and outcomes for victims of mass violence and terrorism. AEAP grants are a mechanism by which the Director of OVC may award supplemental crime victim compensation and assistance to eligible entities responding to acts of mass criminal violence or domestic terrorism. The event must be sufficiently large that the jurisdiction cannot provide needed services to victims of the incident with existing resources, while also supporting victims of other crimes, in a timely and comprehensive manner. OVC generally accesses AEAP funds only in response to incidents that are sufficiently large in scope for the locale, and typically only where there was an unpredictable, indiscriminate, or broad targeting of victims, or otherwise unique aspect to the crime. In most cases, OVC expects States and communities to plan for and address victim needs stemming from relatively more predictable instances of gang-related violence, domestic violence, and broader community gun violence, from existing VOCA resources.
