What the grant funds

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, OVC seeks to improve responses to families impacted by violent crime by building or enhancing relationships with membership organizations that represent funeral directors, cremation and burial service professionals, medical examiners/coroners, or other organizations whose members may come into contact with the surviving family members or loved ones of homicide victims. Membership organizations applying are expected to partner with appropriate victim serving organizations or subject matter experts in the victim services field to develop the program and materials that will inform their national audience (e.g., members, chapters, affiliates).
