What This Grant Funds

This program will identify promising practices in addressing the needs of families and communities on extremely complex homicide cases.

These cases may include, but are not limited to, cases involving intra-familial homicide, murder/suicide, child witnesses, mass violence/multiple victim cases, vehicular homicides, gang involved shootings, and police involved shootings where either a police officer or a suspect are killed. Under Purpose Area #1 of this solicitation, OVC will make up to six awards up to $600,000 each to organizations that demonstrate experience in responding to complex homicide cases and have capacity to implement multi-disciplinary responses to families and communities impacted by these types of crimes. Funding under Purpose Area #1 will also support researcher/practitioner partnerships at each site to conduct program evaluation and identify evidence- based practices that can be used at the local level. Under Purpose Area #2 of this solicitation, OVC will make one award up to $1.5 million to one technical assistance provider who will identify TA needs of direct service sites, convene grantee meetings and compile a compendium of promising practices suitable for publication and dissemination to the field.
