## What the grant funds

MODIFICATION: OTIP has modified the NOFO from its original version to reflect the application due date of June 28, 2022. This is the only modification to the NOFO. The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is announcing funding for the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking Services and Outreach (DVHT- SO) Program. The DVHT-SO Program's goal is to fund organizations that will build, expand, and sustain organizational and local capacity to deliver services to domestic adults and minors who have experienced severe forms of human trafficking as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, as amended through victim outreach, identification, case management, direct services, assistance, and referrals. Under the DVHT-SO Program, the following activities are required: 1) provision of comprehensive, culturally responsive and linguistically appropriate case management to individuals who have experienced sex and labor trafficking and 2) outreach efforts to increase identification of domestic individuals who have experienced sex and labor trafficking. The DVHT-SO Program 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 encourages community partnerships, meaningful engagement of individuals who have experienced human trafficking, and the hiring qualified professionals that reflect the communities being served in all project implementation strategies under the DVHT-SO Program. Under DVHT-SO, there is a 12-month project implementation period for the prime recipient to establish optional partnerships, on-board new staff, and develop a victim service protocol and a sustainability plan. However, clients must receive direct services and assistance through the DVHT-SO Program during the 12-month project implementation period. Under the DVHT-SO Program, the prime recipient must provide a statutorily mandated 25 percent match (cash or in-kind).
