Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF IOAS OTIP ZV 1371
The Trafficking Victim Assistance Program (TVAP) for ACF Regions 9 and 10 is a federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), run through the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP). It is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2018-ACF-IOAS-OTIP-ZV-1371; CFDA 93.598) and is intended to support one primary awardee to coordinate and deliver victim services across the western United States and affiliated jurisdictions covered by ACF Regions 9 and 10. The application closing date listed for this opportunity was August 13, 2018, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
The core goal of TVAP is practical and survivor-focused: to help foreign national victims and potential victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons stabilize, recover, and rebuild independent lives while they seek or obtain HHS certification (which can unlock access to certain benefits and services comparable to those available to refugees). The program emphasizes trauma-informed and person-centered practice, meaning services should be delivered in ways that prioritize safety, choice, cultural responsiveness, and the realities of trauma, while tailoring support to each individual’s goals and needs rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all pathway.
Under this grant, the funded organization is expected to provide comprehensive case management either directly or by building and managing a network of service providers and referral partners. Case management is not limited to coordinating appointments; it is meant to be a full-service approach that helps survivors navigate urgent crises and longer-term recovery needs. The required service scope includes emergency assistance, housing support, safety planning, help meeting basic needs, mental health services, employability and workforce-related services, legal services, medical care, assistance accessing public benefits and services to the same extent as a refugee, and interpretation services. In practice, this means the recipient must be able to quickly connect participants to safe shelter and essentials, support them through legal and immigration-related processes, coordinate healthcare and counseling, and help them move toward stable employment and self-sufficiency.
Funding is structured on a per-capita basis with clear caps and spending rules designed to keep the focus on direct client support. The total per-participant annual amount (including both administrative case management costs and direct participant expenses) may not exceed $6,000 for an individual participant, or $7,500 when the participant has eligible family member(s) living in the household. For subrecipients, administrative costs for case management services are capped at no more than 40% of the authorized per-capita amount, while at least 60% must be used for direct, actual participant expenses. These restrictions are meant to ensure that most dollars flow to concrete supports like housing, transportation, food, clothing, healthcare, legal help, and other immediate or recovery-oriented needs rather than overhead.
Eligibility for services is tightly defined around foreign national trafficking survivors and certain related household members. Qualified participants include: (1) a foreign national victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons who is seeking or has received HHS certification; and (2) a foreign national minor victim who is seeking or has received a letter of eligibility from OTIP. In addition, certain family members living in the household may receive assistance as part of the victim’s household, but they cannot enroll independently. The opportunity highlights two family-related pathways: family members who hold derivative T visas issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and minor dependent children of a victim (or potential victim) of a severe form of trafficking. In other words, the primary participant is the trafficking victim, and limited derivative support can extend to eligible household members under the specified conditions.
Geographically, this particular FOA covers the western states and several U.S. territories and Freely Associated States tied to ACF Regions 9 and 10. The covered locations are Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. OTIP released this FOA as one of three regional solicitations intended to ensure national coverage; the other two companion FOAs are HHS-2018-ACF-IOAS-OTIP-ZV-1369 (Regions 1 through 4) and HHS-2018-ACF-IOAS-OTIP-ZV-1370 (Regions 5 through 8).
From an applicant standpoint, OTIP allowed a broad range of organization types to apply, including state, county, and local governments; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities; nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status); and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). The opportunity anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $3,750,000, signaling an intention to fund one lead entity capable of coordinating a large regional service footprint, maintaining consistent service standards, managing subawards or partnerships, and delivering measurable, survivor-centered outcomes across a diverse set of states and island jurisdictions.Apply for HHS 2018 ACF IOAS OTIP ZV 1371
