Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2022 171303
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), within the U.S. Department of Justice, offered this FY 2022 discretionary funding opportunity as a cooperative agreement to strengthen how states and communities respond to older victims of crime, abuse, and exploitation. The program sits within the Office of Justice Programs broader priorities around advancing civil rights and racial equity, expanding access to justice, supporting people harmed by crime, strengthening public safety, and building trust between communities and the justice system. In practical terms, the grant is designed to increase the country s capacity to serve older victims by improving coordination, consistency, and expertise across agencies and service systems that come into contact with elder abuse cases.
The central purpose of the award is to develop or expand statewide Elder Justice Coalitions and to back that coalition-building work with training and technical assistance (TTA) that can reach nationally. Rather than funding multiple separate state applicants directly, OVC planned to make a single award to one lead organization that would act as the hub for this initiative. That hub organization would then issue and oversee subgrants to seven statewide Elder Justice Coalitions, tracking progress and performance and helping those coalitions build durable cross-sector partnerships. At the same time, the hub would provide national-scope technical assistance not only to the seven subgrantees but also to other already-established coalitions across the United States, with the goal of spreading effective approaches and raising the baseline of practice nationwide.
Because this is a cooperative agreement, the relationship with OVC is typically more hands-on than a standard grant, meaning the federal agency generally expects active involvement in shaping deliverables, monitoring progress, and aligning the work with federal priorities. The program is categorized under Income Security and Social Services and is associated with CFDA 16.582. The opportunity number is O-OVC-2022-171303, and it was posted April 28, 2022, with an original closing date of June 13, 2022.
Eligibility for the lead applicant included a fairly broad set of organizational types: nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and certain other entities as described in the solicitation s additional eligibility guidance. OVC anticipated making one award total, with an award ceiling of $3,750,000. The expected outcome is a stronger and more coordinated statewide infrastructure for elder justice through coalitions that can align victim services, adult protective services, law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, healthcare, aging services, and community partners, while also benefiting from consistent national training, tools, and technical support to improve how older victims are identified, protected, and served.Apply for O OVC 2022 171303
