Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2023 171684
The OVC FY 2023 Invited to Apply Waukesha, Wisconsin Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) opportunity is a discretionary Department of Justice grant from the Office for Victims of Crime designed to deliver supplemental victim compensation and victim assistance after an incident of mass criminal violence or domestic terrorism. The program sits within the Office of Justice Programs broader priorities around civil rights and racial equity, access to justice, support for victims and justice-impacted individuals, stronger community safety, protection from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and communities. In practical terms, this funding is meant to help a jurisdiction respond when a single incident creates victim service needs that are too large to be handled with existing local and state resources while still maintaining services for victims of other crimes.
AEAP is financed through the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve and is structured to provide both funding and support services. In addition to non-grant training and technical assistance, AEAP offers four grant-purpose areas that can be combined into a single application: crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and crime victim compensation. This structure is meant to cover the full arc of victim needs, from immediate stabilization to longer-term recovery and engagement with the justice system. Crisis response focuses on urgent, short-term actions that help people in the immediate aftermath. Consequence management supports longer-term assistance that helps victims and survivors adapt to and cope with lasting impacts. Criminal justice support helps victims participate in investigative and court processes in an informed, safe, and supported way. Crime victim compensation provides added capacity to reimburse eligible out-of-pocket costs that victims incur because of the crime.
A key feature of AEAP is that it is explicitly supplemental. Applicants must justify that requested funds will be used to support victims of the specific incident and that the costs exceed what can reasonably be covered by existing resources. The underlying standard is that the event is sufficiently large that the jurisdiction cannot meet the victim-related needs in a timely and comprehensive way without added help. The grant also allows for retroactive funding back to the date of the incident, which matters because many of the most significant victim-support costs are incurred immediately, before outside resources can be secured. Another practical support noted in the opportunity is that OVC may provide a no-cost consultant to assist the invited applicant with navigating the AEAP application process, which can help speed up development of a compliant, well-documented submission.
For this specific invited opportunity, the funding opportunity title is "OVC FY 2023 Invited to Apply Waukesha, Wisconsin - Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program for Crime Victim Compensation and/or Assistance" (Funding Opportunity Number: O-OVC-2023-171684). It is offered as a grant under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is associated with CFDA 16.321. The opportunity was created on March 24, 2023, with an original closing date of March 27, 2023, reflecting the urgent, incident-driven nature of AEAP awards. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $3,292,543, indicating a targeted allocation intended to support a specific community response rather than a broadly competitive, multi-award solicitation. Statutory authority for the program is 34 U.S.C. 20103(c)(1)(A).
Overall, this grant opportunity is meant to rapidly strengthen Waukeshas capacity to meet the immediate and ongoing needs of victims and survivors tied to a qualifying mass violence or domestic terrorism event, including both direct service delivery and compensation reimbursement, while ensuring the requested funding clearly adds to (rather than replaces) existing victim service and compensation resources.Apply for O OVC 2023 171684
