OVC FY24 Trauma Recovery Center Demonstration Project

The purpose of this program is to establish trauma recovery centers in communities significantly impacted by violence with a focus on addressing the urgent need for trauma recovery support and access to victim compensation for those who traditionally will not seek it out or are unaware that assistance is available.

OVC seeks to award one lead organization that will—

1. fund (through a competitive process) subawards to communities severely affected by violence to establish trauma recovery centers, and
2. provide technical assistance to the subawardees to support operation of the centers. 

The trauma recovery centers funded under this initiative will address crime victimization and support access to victim compensation, crime victims’ rights enforcement, trauma recovery, and healing.

OVC expects to make one award of up to $5 million for up to a 36-month period of performance to begin on October 1, 2024.
