OVC FY 2022 Invited to Apply Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Formula Grant Program

Under this program, OVC allocates funding to participating Tribes through a discretionary administrative formula based on the Population Certifications submitted by Federally recognized Indian Tribes, Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (“ANCSA”) Regional Corporations, and designees. Eligible applicants are entities that submitted Population Certifications by February 15, 2022 and have been notified by OVC of their formula allocation. To confirm your eligibility to apply under this solicitation or to confirm your FY 2022 formula allocation, see the funding table posted at https://ovc.ojp.gov/program/tribal/tribal-victim-services-set-aside   To advance Executive Order 13929 Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Attorney General determined that all state, local, and university or college law enforcement agencies must be certified by an approved independent credentialing body or have started the certification process, to be eligible for FY 2022 DOJ discretionary grant funding. To become certified, the law enforcement agency must meet two mandatory conditions: (1) the agency’s use-of-force policies adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and (2) the agency’s use-of-force policies prohibit chokeholds except in situations where use of deadly force is allowed by law. The certification requirement also applies to law enforcement agencies receiving DOJ discretionary grant funding through a subaward. For detailed information on this certification requirement, please visit https://cops.usdoj.gov/SafePolicingEO to access the Standards for Certification on Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Implementation Fact Sheet, and the List of Designated Independent Credentialing Bodies. All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee.
