Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2022 171429
The OVC FY 2022 "Invited to Apply" opportunity is an administrative funding adjustment tied to the previously funded FY 2021 VOCA Victim Compensation program. It is offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), and is designed to support state and territorial victim compensation formula programs that reimburse eligible crime victims for certain crime-related expenses. The overarching purpose aligns with DOJ priorities around civil rights and racial equity, improving access to justice, supporting victims and justice-involved individuals, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and communities.
This grant focuses specifically on victim compensation, which serves as a financial safety net for victims who experience serious out-of-pocket costs because of a crime. The funds are intended to help programs cover compensation benefits for eligible victims, addressing needs such as medical and mental health expenses, lost wages or income, dependent care, funeral and burial costs, relocation expenses, and other qualifying costs that can follow victimization. The program is framed as a supplement to state efforts, meaning it helps states and territories expand or sustain compensation payments that reduce the financial burden victims often carry after a crime.
The award amount is determined by a statutory formula. OVC provides each eligible state victim compensation program an annual grant equal to 75 percent of the amount the program paid out in state-funded victim compensation during the fiscal year two years before the current fiscal year. A key limitation is that property damage payments are excluded from the calculation, so the formula is based on eligible compensation categories other than property damage. In effect, the approach ties federal support to a jurisdiction's demonstrated compensation payouts, reinforcing the role of state-funded payments while providing a predictable federal share.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting that victim compensation programs are typically administered at the state or territorial level under VOCA guidelines. The listing identifies the opportunity category as "Other," the funding instrument as a grant, and the activity category as Law, Justice, and Legal Services. The CFDA number associated with this program is 16.576, which corresponds to VOCA Victim Compensation.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on August 25, 2022, with an original closing date of August 30, 2022, indicating a short application window consistent with an invited-to-apply or adjustment action rather than an open competitive solicitation. The posted award ceiling is $580,000, and the expected number of awards is 1, which further suggests it is targeted and limited in scope, likely addressing a specific adjustment for an already-funded award rather than distributing funds broadly to multiple new recipients. The funding opportunity number is O-OVC-2022-171429, and the full title is "OVC FY 2022 Invited to Apply - Administrative Funding Adjustment to Previously Funded FY2021 VOCA Victim Compensation."
The statutory authority for the program is the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) of 1984, codified at 34 U.S.C. 20102. Under this authority, OVC administers federal resources that states and territories use to provide direct financial assistance to eligible crime victims, helping to stabilize victims and families facing substantial costs and disruptions in the aftermath of crime.Apply for O OVC 2022 171429
