To be considered for FY 2025 funding, all entities that have current OVC Improving Outcomes awards with project periods that will overlap with the proposed project must clearly describe how the proposed project would differ from, or expand, their existing OVC-funded projects, including a new scope, services, cost items, or a distinct geographic scope not included in the original application.

## What the grant funds

This NOFO will develop, enhance, and coordinate programs and activities geared toward improving outcomes for child and youth victims of sex and labor trafficking. Outcomes for child and youth victims of human trafficking will be improved through the development and implementation of a statewide or Tribal jurisdiction-wide strategic plan addressing challenges related to identifying and serving child and youth victims of sex and labor trafficking, as well as identifying, investigating, and prosecuting traffickers.
