Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2022 171391
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), offered under the Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP). It is an invited-to-apply solicitation specific to the El Paso/Odessa-Midland area and is designed to strengthen the victim service response following an incident of mass criminal violence or domestic terrorism when the scale of harm exceeds what the jurisdiction can handle with existing resources while still serving victims of other crimes. The program sits within the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) broader priorities of advancing civil rights and racial equity, improving access to justice, supporting crime victims and justice-impacted individuals, strengthening community safety, addressing evolving threats, and building trust between communities and law enforcement.
AEAP is funded through the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve and is intended to provide supplemental support, meaning applicants must show that the requested funds are necessary beyond current funding streams and capabilities. The assistance can be used both for immediate emergency relief and for longer-term recovery needs. AEAP also emphasizes that the response must be timely and comprehensive, reflecting the reality that mass violence events create sudden surges in demand for services such as crisis counseling, care coordination, and practical supports that local systems often cannot absorb without additional resources.
The solicitation allows applicants to combine up to four AEAP grant purpose areas into a single application, depending on the needs generated by the incident. These include: (1) crisis response, which covers urgent, short-term interventions to stabilize victims and communities in the immediate aftermath; (2) consequence management, which supports longer-term services that help victims cope with ongoing trauma and the life disruptions that follow; (3) criminal justice support, which helps victims engage with investigations and court proceedings, including support that reduces barriers to participation and improves victims understanding of and access to justice processes; and (4) crime victim compensation, which can supplement state crime victim compensation programs that reimburse eligible victims for out-of-pocket costs tied to their victimization. In practice, this structure gives OVC flexibility to fund a coordinated package of services that matches the evolution of victim needs from the first days after an incident through later months as cases move forward and recovery challenges persist.
A key feature of AEAP is that funding is retroactive to the date of the incident, recognizing that jurisdictions often must incur costs immediately to meet urgent victim needs before federal support can be awarded. Even with retroactivity, the application must justify each cost by showing it directly benefits victims of the specific incident and fills a gap that cannot be addressed through existing resources. OVC also notes that it may provide a no-cost consultant to assist the prospective grantee with navigating the AEAP application process, which can be important given the urgency and complexity that often accompany mass violence responses.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on July 8, 2022, with an original closing date of July 13, 2022, indicating a very short turnaround consistent with emergency-response funding. The opportunity number is O-OVC-2022-171391, and the CFDA (now commonly referenced through Assistance Listings) number is 16.321. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $3,077,347. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text, reflecting that AEAP awards are typically targeted to specific entities involved in victim compensation and assistance for the affected jurisdiction (often including state compensation programs, local governments, or designated victim service organizations, depending on the invited applicant and incident context).
The statutory authority for AEAP is 34 U.S.C. 20101(d)(5) and 20105(b), which underpins OVCs ability to use Emergency Reserve funds to supplement victim compensation and assistance in response to terrorism or mass violence. Overall, this grant opportunity is structured to quickly inject additional resources into an overwhelmed victim services ecosystem so victims can receive immediate stabilization supports, sustained recovery services, and meaningful help navigating the criminal justice process, while also enabling compensation programs to keep pace with increased claims and administrative demands tied to the incident.Apply for O OVC 2022 171391
