What This Grant Funds

Under this NOFO, OVC will support updates to the OVC SANE Program Development and Operation Guide (“the Guide”). The Guide serves as a comprehensive resource for developing, expanding, or improving SANE programs to help communities enhance the quality and scope of services provided to victims.
