The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is offering this grant to support Action Partnerships with national membership, professional affiliation, and community service organizations. This grant is specifically for enhancing post-conviction services to victims of crime. Applicants are invited to address various critical areas, including comprehensive victim services throughout criminal cases, appeals, parole, and psychiatric review hearings. The grant also focuses on unique challenges faced by victims in cold, capital, or wrongful conviction cases. Emerging issues like retroactive legislation for victim notification and support protocols are key. Furthermore, the grant encourages the provision of services through facilitated dialogue processes such as victim-driven restorative justice, diversion, or tribal peacemaking programs. Proposals for field-generated ideas demonstrating a clear need or service gap related to post-conviction victim support are also welcome.
