Please refer to the new forecast for Trafficking Victim Assistance Program, HHS-2022-ACF-IOAS-OTIP-ZV-0150, for more information.*** The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is announcing funds for the Trafficking Victim Assistance Program (TVAP) - Regions 5, 6, 7, and 8. TVAP's goal is to directly fund time-limited comprehensive case management services on a per capita basis to foreign national adult confirmed and potential victims of a severe form of human trafficking, as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, as amended, seeking the Health and Human Services (HHS) certification so they can re-establish their ability to live independently. A foreign national includes individuals who are not U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, parolees, refugees, or asylees. Under TVAP, the provision of trauma-informed, person-centered, culturally responsive, and linguistically appropriate, comprehensive case management services is required. Services may be provided to qualified persons either directly and/or through a network of providers, that provide direct services and community referrals. TVAP is informed by a whole family approach that focuses equally and intentionally on services and opportunities for clients and their immediate family members living within their households. OTIP is encouraging the meaningful engagement of foreign national adult survivors of trafficking, and the hiring of qualified professionals that reflect the communities being served in all project implementation strategies under TVAP. OTIP plans to award three cooperative agreements to provide regional coverage to achieve nationwide assistance. Each award will support services in specific ACF regions. The regional areas are as follows: a) ACF regions 1, 2, 3, and 4; b) ACF regions 5, 6, 7, and 8; and c) ACF regions 9 and 10. This is one of three Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs). This NOFO is for TVAP coverage for the central states in ACF regions 5, 6, 7, and 8. This includes the following states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. The other two NOFOs are: HHS-2022-ACF-IOAS-OTIP-ZV-0039, Trafficking Victim Assistance Program - ACF Regions 1, 2, 3, and 4; and HHS-2022-ACF-IOAS-OTIP-ZV-0041, Trafficking Victim Assistance Program - ACF Regions 9 and 10.
