## What the grant funds

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is seeking applications from organizations that provide culturally responsive services to crime victims and survivors from communities that have been historically underserved, marginalized, adversely affected by inequality, and disproportionately impacted by crime, violence, and victimization. These victims often face barriers that prevent them from accessing critical services. Such barriers can isolate these victims and contribute to distrust of the government and government systems. Unaddressed needs can lead to long-term physical, emotional, social, and financial problems for survivors. Survivors from underserved communities are more inclined to seek services from organizations rooted in their communities that understand and are skilled at addressing the challenges specific to their communities. Through this funding opportunity, OVC will support services for victims by organizations that understand the complex, multilayered, culturally specific challenges that crime victims from these communities face when attempting to access assistance and services.
