The goals of this project are to increase public awareness of crime victims’ rights and services nationwide during the 2025–2027 National Crime Victims’ Rights Weeks and strengthen the capacity of victim assistance agencies to develop a broad, collaborative approach to community awareness that highlights services for all types of crime victims.
This cooperative agreement will enable an organization to provide financial and technical assistance to approximately 300 communities (100 each year) nationwide to conduct public education and awareness activities on crime victims’ rights and services in their jurisdictions during the 2025–2027 National Crime Victims’ Rights Weeks.
OVC expects to make one award of up to $1.75 million for up to a 36-month period of performance to begin on October 1, 2024.
