## What the grant funds

This program is authorized by 34 U.S.C. § 20122. The goal of the Training and Services to End Violence and Abuse Against Individuals with Disabilities and Deaf People Program (Disability Grant Program) (CFDA# 16.529) is to create sustainable change within and between organizations that improves the response to individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and caregiver abuse, and to hold perpetrators of such crimes accountable. The Disability Grant Program brings together disability organizations and victim service providers to work in a collaborative manner at the intersection of disability and domestic and sexual violence. Grants are made to create permanent organizational changes to create more accessible, safe, and effective services for survivors with disabilities and Deaf survivors. Projects focus on building the capacity and internal infrastructure of the organizations that make up the Multidisciplinary Collaborative Team (Team). Disability Grant Program funds are used to establish and strengthen collaborative relationships; increase organizational capacity to provide accessible, safe, and effective services to individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals who are victims of violence and abuse; identify needs within the grantee’s organization and/or service area; and develop a plan to address those identified needs that build a strong foundation for future work. This is a capacity building grant that does not fund direct services during the initial award. New grantees will follow a prescribed process, which is divided into 2 phases: 1) the planning and development phase and 2) the implementation phase. During the planning and development phase, grantees will create several required documents, which will result in a strategic plan. During the implementation phase, grantees will implement the strategic plan created in the planning and development phase. Grantees are required to participate in intensive technical assistance provided by the OVW designated TA provider. Please see the Program Requirements section of this solicitation for more specific information. Continuation grantees are required to implement activities that were identified during the previous award but were not able to be addressed during that initial project period.
