About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs' Victims of Crime is soliciting applications for the Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) to support victims of mass violence and terrorism in Rochester Hills, Michigan, with an application due date of August 27, 2026. This is an invited-to-apply opportunity, meaning OVC has identified Rochester Hills as an eligible jurisdiction following a qualifying incident and invites specific entities to apply.
Eligible applicants are limited to entities that OVC has invited to apply; applicant types are classified as "Other," indicating state and local government agencies or comparable entities responding to the mass violence incident. No cost share is required. The program provides four grant types that may be combined or awarded separately: crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and crime victim compensation. Funding supplements existing state and local resources where the incident is sufficiently large in scope that the jurisdiction cannot provide needed services to victims in a timely and comprehensive manner with existing resources.
AEAP grants fund supplemental victim services, compensation, mental health services, and resiliency infrastructure. Recent awards for comparable incidents have ranged from $750 thousand to $8.5 million depending on scope and recovery needs. The period of performance is retroactive to the incident date. Award decisions rest with the Assistant Attorney General; recipients must accept or decline awards within 45 days of JustGrants notification.
The opportunity operates under CFDA 16.321, the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve. Over 70 awards totaling $167.7 million have been obligated since 2000. Records must be retained for three years from final expenditure report submission; unspent funds revert to the Crime Victims Fund after three fiscal years from award.
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
