OVC FY 2022 Invited to Apply - Advancing Hospital-Based Victim Services Technical Assistance Project

The Advancing Hospital-Based Victim Services (AHVS) Initiative enhances linkages between the victim field and hospitals by promoting multidisciplinary, victim-centered, and trauma-informed approaches to providing victim services. A non-competitive award will be issued to the current AHVS training and technical assistance (TTA) provider, the Health Alliance for Violence Prevention (HAVI), to support their continued provision of TA to the four OVC-funded FY 2021 sites and the additional sites funded under the FY 2022 AHVS competitive solicitation. Through this dedicated TTA support, the HAVI will continue to develop tools that educate victim service providers on effectiveness of hospital-based response and other related strategies for supporting crime victims, improving their outcomes, and interrupting cycles of harm.
